Garmin eTrex Summit GPS
Besides its small size, mariners and outdoorsmen will likely notice the sleek design of the eTrex models. 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 models, you will find the proven performance of a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver that will run for 22 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.
The eTrex Summit comes on the heels of the extremely popular eTrex?, which was designed for both marine and recreation use. This new all-in-one navigation device for the outdoor enthusiast is the first combination GPS, altimeter, and electronic compass. The electronic compass provides bearing information when you’re standing still and the altimeter determines precise altitude, so you can tell how high you’ve climbed and your rate of ascent.
Like its predecessor, the eTrex Summit boasts a powerful 12 parallel channel GPS receiver and comes packaged in a small, sleek case with operating buttons located on either side of the unit. The case is completely waterproof to withstand immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
