Introduction

eTrex Features

The eTrex is a six ounce, 12 channel, hand held GPS

receiver. It has a built-in GPS antenna and only five user-

buttons. All buttons are located on either side of the unit,

allowing for simple, one-handed operation that won’t

obstruct your view of the display. It runs for 22 hours on

two AA batteries in battery save mode.

In addition to determining your location, the eTrex

will create, name and save a location (as an electronic

waypoint) in its memory, allowing you to navigate back

to this point any time you want. And once you start

moving, your GPS provides other data, like speed,

direction of movement, time and distance to destination,

and more.

From these basic features, your GARMIN GPS can

provide one more critical benefit; peace of mind, because,

with GPS you’ll know where you are, where you’ve been

and where you’re going. And since you’ll always know the

way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out

to do and enjoy the great outdoors.

Other features include:

Waypoints: 500 with name and graphic symbol.

Tracks: Automatic track log; 10 saved tracks

let you retrace your path in both

directions.

Route: Route lets you navigate up to 50

waypoints in sequence.

Trip Computer: Current speed, average speed,

maximum speed, direction of

movement, bearing, elevation, time

of sunrise/sunset, trip timer and trip

odometer.

NOTE: You should

always be prepared and

capable of navigating

without the eTrex. It is

designed to augment

other forms of basic

navigation, not entirely

replace them.
