Garmin eTrex
GPS
The Garmin eTrex GPS
receiver takes many of the features of a 12-parallel-channel GPS receiver and puts them
into a 6-ounce package that is only 4 inches high and 2 inches wide. The result is a unit
that will literally fit in the palm of your hand.
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 Garmin eTrex features
only five operator buttons, making for a user-friendly design. Thanks to its bright yellow
case, this unit will be hard to misplace in any boat or backpack. The Garmin eTrex is
completely waterproof so it can take an accidental splash or dunk in the water and still
continue to perform.
Even while operating in forestlike conditions, the Garmin eTrex will continue to maintain
a tight satellite lock. The unit can store up to 500 user waypoints with graphic icons and
boasts Garmin's own TracBack feature that will reverse your track log and help you
navigate your way back home. In addition, the Garmin eTrex uses animated graphics that
will help you identify your marked waypoints quickly and easily.
Cost: Approximately $100
