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.
