Garmin eTrex Summit Hand
Held GPS
The eTrex Summit comes on the heels of the extremely popular
eTrex®, which was designed for both marine and recreation use. This new
all-in-one navigation device for the outdoor enthusiast is the first combination
GPS, altimeter, and electronic compass. The electronic compass provides bearing
information when you're standing still and the altimeter determines precise
altitude, so you can tell how high you've climbed and your rate of
ascent.
Like its predecessor, the eTrex Summit boasts a powerful 12
parallel channel GPS receiver and comes packaged in a small, sleek case with
operating buttons located on either side of the unit. The case is completely
waterproof to withstand immersion in one meter of water for up to 30
minutes.
The eTrex Summit: It's what the hard-core outdoorsman has been
waiting for.
