The Garmin eTrex GPS is a remarkable GPS in a small, compact package. The eTrext takes the best features of a 12-paralle channel GPS receiver and puts them into a six-ounce, handheld device that is only four inches high and a mere two inches wide. The result is a powerful machine in the palm of your hand. Map page. View larger. Mark waypoint. View larger. The Garmin eTrex is a simple, compact GPS device. View larger. Besides its small size, boaters and outdoorsmen will be happy with the eTrex’s unique button layout design. All the buttons are located on either side of the unit. The benefits of this design are two-fold. First, the eTrex is a breeze to operate with just one hand and, second, with the buttons on both sides of the unit the bulk of the front of the device is dedicated to the large, LCD display with backlight. The eTrex is so simple it only sports five buttons — Page, Power, Up, Down, and Enter. Thanks to the its bright yellow case, the eTrex is easy to spot and hard to misplace in a boat, backpack, or trunk. Garmin also designed this tiny GPS to be completely waterproof so it can handle an accidental splash or dunk and continue to perform. Locked away behind the waterproof protection, you will find the proven performance of a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver that will run for up to 22 hours on just two AA batteries. The antenna is also internal and the external power and data connector are protected as well. In addition to determining your location, the eTrex creates, names, and saves a location as an electronic waypoint in its memory — up to 500 individual waypoints. This allows you to navigate back to this point any time you want, from any location or, with Garmin’s TracBack feature, you can reverse your track log and navigate your way back home. And once you start moving, the GPS provides other data, like speed, direction of movement, time and distance to destination, and more. In addition to these basic features, the eTrex provides one more critical benefit; peace of mind, because with GPS you know where you are, where you’ve been, and where you are going. And since you always know your way back home, you can concentrate on enjoy yourself outdoors, on the water, or wherever your travels may take you.
