Garmin eTrex Hand Held
GPS
Truly a small wonder, the eTrex takes the best features of a 12
parallel channel GPS receiver and put them into a six ounce package that is only
four inches high and two inches wide. The result is a unit that will literally
fit in the palm of your hand.
Besides its small size, mariners and outdoorsmen will likely
notice the sleek design of the eTrex. All buttons are located on either side of
the unit, allowing for simple, one-handed operation that won't obstruct your
view of the display. In fact, the eTrex features only five operator buttons for
the ultimate in user-friendly design. Thanks to its bright yellow case, the
eTrex will be hard to misplace and easy to find in any boat or backpack. The
eTrex is completely waterproof so it can take an accidental splash or dunk in
the water and still continue to perform.
Inside the eTrex, you will find the proven performance of a 12
parallel channel GPS receiver that will run for 22 hours on just two AA
batteries. The eTrex will store up to 500 user waypoints with graphic icons and
boasts Garmin's exclusive TracBack® feature that will reverse your track log and
help you navigate your way back home. In addition, the eTrex uses animated
graphics that will help you identify your marked waypoints quickly and
easily.
