Garmin eTrex GPS – small size, big features
The range of Garmin eTrex GPS handheld navigational instruments
offer functionality which puts them in clear contention with
bigger, more expensive models. While they may have a screen
which is less colorful, smaller, and more compact in terms of
information display, the Garmin eTrex GPS series makes up for
the small size by incorporating user friendly features designed
to minimize interaction with the screen.
Starting with systems giving heading and waypoint navigation,
the Garmin eTrex GPS range contains models which will suit every
budget, and every application. At the high end, there are
special models which are compatible with the Garmin MapSource
CD-ROM series and can be connected to a PC to allow the transfer
of mapping information to the device.
Each of the Garmin eTrex GPS units can deal with at least 500
waypoints, and come with a unique navigational feature known as
TracBack which reverses the logged journey so that you can find
your way home, even in the dark! This is also helped by the 4
level backlit display which all models in the range sport.
Selected models also benefit from Wide Area Augmentation System
compatibility, allowing them to provide navigational data that
is accurate to within an incredible 3 meters, where the service
is available. Those Garmin eTrex GPS systems which come with
this feature are also available with a variety of preloaded
highway or maritime base maps.
The higher range of Garmin eTrex GPS units also boast
interactive features such as calendars, and celestial
information. All are waterproof and weigh less than six ounces.
