Buy Garmin eTrex GPS

Intended for the novice GPS user, this low cost, rugged and trendy looking unit in its bright yellow case is ideal for sailors on a budget and has proven itself to be one of the most successful handheld receivers on the market.

Smaller and lighter than many mobile phones, it is ideal for carrying for on long distance walks where rucksack space is at a premium and excess weight is to be avoided. Its waterproof construction will also appeal to marine users, as well as those in extreme weather conditions on ‘dry’ land.

The manual supplied with the unit is easy to follow, while the menu commands on screen are very user-friendly. You will soon have the basics of GPS navigation at your fingertips. With only five buttons, the eTrex is comfortable to hold and operate with one hand, leaving you free to hold your map in the other.

The unit includes a useful feature allowing you to calculate your current and average speed, and estimate your time of arrival at a destination. The display provides additional information including your current location, distance travelled and baring to a waypoint.

A PC link allows limited transfer of information to and from the GPS unit. This includes route, track and waypoint data for pre-programming before you begin your journey, or for analysis when you get home.
