Hunt, trek and fish with the Garmin eTrex Vista

Like all the other machines in this new series of portable GPS systems, the Garmin eTrex Vista comes in a discreet box measuring just 4 by 2 inches, and weighing in at a mere 5.3 ounces. Size, however, can be deceptive, and while the Garmin eTrex Vista is at the top end of the range, it is still within reach of the recreational sportsperson, hill climber or avid walking enthusiast.

It takes advantage of the Wide Area Augmentation System which allows the already accurate GPS system inside the Garmin eTrex Vista to become accurate to within a staggering three meters. Add to this the 24 megabyte internal memory, and storage space for up to 1,000 waypoints, and it is clear that this is a handheld GPS which stands above the competition.

The Garmin eTrex Vista can also be connected to a PC, enabling maps to be downloaded onto the system, which can be viewed on the 4 level grey LCD screen which measures 2 by 1 inches, at a resolution of 288 by 160 pixels giving it a clarity that is usually associated with a more powerful system.

Naturally, the Garmin eTrex Vista shares other features with its’ siblings in the range, such as being waterproof, having a user-friendly interface, and a backlit display in case you are in need to help at night. An added technological breakthrough in navigation techniques is the advanced TracBack mode in which your logged path is reversed so that you can find your way home even without referring to the map.
