Neither deep foliage nor steep canyons will faze the rugged Garmin eTrex Vista HCx navigator. Equipped with a high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, the unit locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover. The advantage is clear: whether you're traipsing through thick woods or strolling near tall buildings and trees, you can count on the Vista HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most. The Vista HCx also includes a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even when you're standing still, along with a barometric altimeter that tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use the altimeter to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions. Adding maps to the Vista HCx is easier than ever thanks to the device's microSD card slot, which accepts cards preloaded with MapSource data for your land and sea excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and the Vista HCx will provide turn-by-turn directions to your destination. Plus, the card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you needn't worry about it getting wet. Besides appreciating its small size, users will also be happy with the Vista HCx's unique button layout, with five buttons located on either side of the unit. The benefits of this design are twofold: First, the Vista HCx is a breeze to operate with just one hand, and, second, with the buttons on both sides of the unit, the bulk of the front is dedicated to the 256-color, sunlight-readable TFT display. This makes it easy to distinguish map details regardless of the time of day. The Vista HCx basemap, meanwhile, contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national and state highways, railroads, and coastlines--in short, a host of helpful details for your outdoor adventures. Other details include an IPX7 waterproof housing, 1,000 waypoints with names and graphic symbols, a built-in patch antenna, a USB interface, a hunt/fish calendar, sun and moon information, and a geocaching mode. The Vista HCx, which runs for up to 25 hours on a pair of AA batteries (not included), measures 2.2 by 4.2 by 1.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box |

The Garmin eTrex GPS Navigation System was designed for outdoor enthusiasts and for anyone who enjoys camping, hiking or other adventures. The eTrex is called, “the little yellow wonder,” thanks to its easy-to-use features and rugged exterior. The eTrex fits into the palm of your hand and can be operated with just one hand using the five buttons that are located on either side of the unit. Its yellow color makes it easy to spot almost anywhere. The eTrex is waterproof, so if it’s splashed or dropped in water, it will still perform. The eTrex is simple to use; just enter your destination point you and the system will point you in the right direction. The TrackBack feature also helps you reverse your tracks, so you can navigate back to your starting point.
The eTrex has a 20 route memory and 500 locations can be saved. The Garmin eTrex Navigation System measures 2.0" x 4.4" x 1.2" and weighs 5.3 ounces. The unit is powered by 2 AA batteries which provide 17 hours of useable time. The 64 x 128 pixel resolution, 1.1 x 2.1 inch LCD screen is easy to read. The eTrex has built-in sun and moon information and a hunt/fish calendar. The high-sensitivity receiver locks onto satellite signals quickly, even in harsh conditions. The eTrex is designed to operate in deep canyons and heavily wooded areas, so the WAAS-enabled GOS receiver locates your position quickly and helps you find your way, even when your position is covered by trees or tall buildings.
The main features of the Garmin eTrex GPS Navigation System are clear reception regardless of the terrain, one hand operation using the five operation buttons, its yellow color, and its waterproof case that is rugged enough to go on hiking, backpacking, camping and boating adventures. The eTrex comes with a quick start guide, a wrist strap, an owner’s manual and eTrex H.
