Introduction
The eTrex Summit is a six ounce, 12 channel, hand
held GPS receiver. It has a built-in GPS antenna and only
ve 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 up to
22 hours on two AA batteries in battery save mode.
The eTrex Summit contains a full function GPS, elec-
tronic compass and barometric altimeter. The eTrex
Summit will track barometric pressure and altitude
changes, providing data never before available in such
a small package. Using the built in compass, the eTrex
Summit will provide you with a reliable heading even
while standing still. When moving, the eTrex Summit

the great outdoors.
