Hunt, trek and
fish with the Garmin eTrex Vista
Like all the other machines in this new series of portable GPS
systems, the Garmin eTrex Vista comes in a discreet box
measuring just 4 by 2 inches, and weighing in at a mere 5.3
ounces. Size, however, can be deceptive, and while the Garmin
eTrex Vista is at the top end of the range, it is still within
reach of the recreational sportsperson, hill climber or avid
walking enthusiast.
It takes advantage of the Wide Area Augmentation System which
allows the already accurate GPS system inside the Garmin eTrex
Vista to become accurate to within a staggering three meters.
Add to this the 24 megabyte internal memory, and storage space
for up to 1,000 waypoints, and it is clear that this is a
handheld GPS which stands above the competition.
The Garmin eTrex Vista can also be connected to a PC, enabling
maps to be downloaded onto the system, which can be viewed on
the 4 level grey LCD screen which measures 2 by 1 inches, at a
resolution of 288 by 160 pixels giving it a clarity that is
usually associated with a more powerful system.
Naturally, the Garmin eTrex Vista shares other features with
its’ siblings in the range, such as being waterproof, having a
user-friendly interface, and a backlit display in case you are
in need to help at night. An added technological breakthrough in
navigation techniques is the advanced TracBack mode in which
your logged path is reversed so that you can find your way home
even without referring to the map.
