The Garmin eTrex series : truly portable navigation

The Garmin eTrex range of portable GPS systems mark a revolution in handheld navigation for sports, recreation and maritime users. Each one weighs around 5 ounces and is four inches high, and two inches wide, but comes packed with the usual array of features that we have come to expect from Garmin equipment. The Garmin eTrex range also has a system to fit every budget, with the cheapest model providing an intelligent alternative to the trusty compass, and the more expensive ones delivered pre-loaded with basemaps.

Those in the mid range also support a reduced set of mapping functions, and each of the systems in the Garmin eTrex range share basic features such as being completely waterproof, and sporting a user-friendly interface which makes operation as painless as carrying the unit.

Navigation is made easier by virtue of the fact that all the systems support unique features for reversing the path that has been logged to help you find your way home, a useful feature which has made it onto even the cheapest units in the Garmin eTrex range.

Of course, paying the extra premium to buy one of the more advanced Garmin eTrex systems guarantees additional features and flexibility such as complete basemaps, and the possibility to connect the system to a PC, and download maps from CD-ROMs.

All units in the Garmin eTrex range can be loaded with at least 500 waypoints, animated graphics, support a variety of positioning data formats, and run from standard AA batteries.
