Garmin's eTrex Palm Size 12 Channel GPS


Truly a small wonder, the eTrex™ takes the best
features of a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver and
put them into a six ounce package that is only four
inches high and two inches wide. The result is a
unit that will literally fit in the palm of your hand. 

Besides its small size, mariners and outdoorsmen
will likely notice the sleek design of the eTrex. 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. In fact,
the eTrex features only five operator buttons for
the ultimate in user-friendly design. Thanks to its
bright yellow case, the eTrex will be hard to
misplace and easy to find in any boat or backpack. The eTrex is
completely waterproof so it can take an accidental splash or dunk in the
water and still continue to perform. 

Inside the eTrex, you will find the proven performance of a 12 parallel
channel GPS receiver that will run for 18 hours on just two AA batteries.
No need to worry about dense tree canopy with this unit, the eTrex will
continue to maintain a tight satellite lock even while operating in forest-like
conditions. The eTrex will store up to 500 user waypoints with graphic
icons and boasts GARMIN's exclusive TracBack™ feature that will
reverse your track log and help you navigate your way back home. In
addition, the eTrex uses animated graphics that will help you identify your
marked waypoints quickly and easily.
