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.

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 Vista combines a basemap of Australia, with a barometric altimeter and electronic compass. The compass provides bearing information while you’re standing still and the altimeter determines your precise altitude. The Vista is also designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). This product will provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections.

The eTrex Vista also boasts an internal memory capacity of 24 megabytes, which allows it to accept downloaded mapping data from Garmin’s MapSource?? CD-ROMs, including Fishing Hot Spots?. A silver case gives this unit a high-tech look. New to the product design, Garmin will include marine aids to navigation in addition to the basemap. These navigational aids will be pre-loaded into each unit from the factory.
