Overview
Outdoor enthusiasts, geocachers and anyone looking for adventure will love the eTrex. It combines intuitive, easy-to-use features and a rugged exterior into a lightweight package that is only 10 cm high and 5 cm wide. The result is a lightweight GPS navigator that will literally fit in the palm of your hand.
Built for Adventure
You can operate your eTrex with just one hand using five buttons, which are located on either side of the eTrex within easy reach of your fingers. Thanks to its bright yellow case, the eTrex is easy to find in your boat or backpack. And, eTrex is IPX7 waterproof, so it can take an accidental splash or dunk in the water and still continue to perform. You'll notice that eTrex's 12-parallel channel GPS receiver locks onto satellite signals quickly and maintains accuracy, even in tough conditions.
Find It and Go
With eTrex, your adventure can last and last - up to 22 hours on just 2 AA batteries. While you roam, you can store up to 500 waypoints in memory for easy retrieval. Just enter the point you want to go to, and eTrex points you to your destination (no street or terrain maps). To get home, use Garmin's exclusive TrackBack feature to reverse your track log and help you navigate back to your starting point.
eTrex: Find adventure. Find fun!

 | Using this in the snow Russ on 02.09.2009 I used this in a white out. There was never a moment that we did not know where we were and where we were headed. A great product. |
 | immense improvement Russ- no relation on 11.10.2009 I loved my Gecko, but this locates & hangs on to sattelites much better, even in pockets, packs, etc. Batterey life is far superior. Its a pity the optional serial cable is not available from your store. I want one! |
