Garmin eTrex Venture Hand Held
GPS
The eTrex Venture offers a worldwide database of cities and
increased internal memory. It is also one of three eTrex units that are designed
to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide
Area Augmentation System (WAAS). This product will provide position accuracy to
less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections.
The memory capacity of one megabyte allows the eTrex Venture to
accept downloaded information from Garmin's new MapSourceŽ Points of Interest
CD-ROM. The CD enables users to download locations such as restaurants, hotels,
shopping, and entertainment. Once the information is loaded into the unit, you
can make a selection and telephone and address information for a particular
point of interest will appear on the screen. The CD also includes marine data
such as lights, buoys, wrecks and obstructions. The eTrex Venture comes housed
in a stylish, translucent green
case.
