    eTrex

    Find Fun

    eTrex supports geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. eTrex stores and displays key information, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and paper printouts.

    Keep Your Fix

    With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, eTrex locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.

    Go Global

    The eTrex series is the first-ever consumer-grade receivers that can track both GPS and GLONASS satellites simultaneously. When using GLONASS satellites, a system developed by the Russian Federation, the time it takes for the receiver to 'lock on' to a position is (on average) approximately 20 percent faster than using GPS.

    Plan Your Next Trip

    • Take charge of your next adventure with BaseCamp, software that lets you view and organize maps, waypoints, routes, and tracks
    • This free trip-planning software even allows you to create Garmin Adventures that you can share with friends, family or fellow explorers.
    • BaseCamp displays topographic map data in 2-D or 3-D on your computer screen, including contour lines and elevation profiles. It also can transfer an unlimited amount of satellite images to your device when paired with a BirdsEye Satellite Imagery subscription.

    Easy to use.
    Compact as it is a "handheld". Able to load maps and make custom routes. I use it for snowmobiling with lithium batteries. I can mount it on handlebar with a garmin atv mount.
