Garmin
eTrex
The Garmin eTrex GPS has been replaced by the Garmin eTrex H >>
The
Garmin eTrex GPS is a six ounce, 12 channel, hand held GPS receiver,
with a built-in patch antenna and only five user buttons. 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. Thanks to
its bright yellow case, the eTrex will be hard to misplace and easy
to find in any boat or backpack. It runs for 22 hours on two AA
alkaline in battery save mode.
In
addition to determining your location, the eTrex will create, name and save a
location (as an electronic waypoint) in its memory, allowing you to navigate back
to this point any time you want. Once you start moving, the eTrex provides other
data, like speed, direction of movement, time and distance to destination, and
more.
