Enter the Garmin eTrex GPS – small size, big features

The range of Garmin eTrex GPS handheld navigational instruments offer functionality which puts them in clear contention with bigger, more expensive models. While they may have a screen which is less colorful, smaller, and more compact in terms of information display, the Garmin eTrex GPS series makes up for the small size by incorporating user friendly features designed to minimize interaction with the screen.

Starting with systems giving heading and waypoint navigation, the Garmin eTrex GPS range contains models which will suit every budget, and every application. At the high end, there are special models which are compatible with the Garmin MapSource CD-ROM series and can be connected to a PC to allow the transfer of mapping information to the device.

Each of the Garmin eTrex GPS units can deal with at least 500 waypoints, and come with a unique navigational feature known as TracBack which reverses the logged journey so that you can find your way home, even in the dark! This is also helped by the 4 level backlit display which all models in the range sport.

Selected models also benefit from Wide Area Augmentation System compatibility, allowing them to provide navigational data that is accurate to within an incredible 3 meters, where the service is available. Those Garmin eTrex GPS systems which come with this feature are also available with a variety of preloaded highway or maritime base maps.

The higher range of Garmin eTrex GPS units also boast interactive features such as calendars, and celestial information. All are waterproof and weigh less than six ounces.
