For campers, hikers, and people who enjoy outdoor activities, Garmin eTrex GPS may be an ideal device for them with its several navigational tools such as 12 satellite networks support; rugged and water-proof design to accommodate tough conditions; hunt and fish information; TrackBack Technology for navigating back on the previous tracks; and 500 waypoints for easy location of landmarks.

Garmin eTrex GPS imageGarmin eTrex is a GPS device that uses 12 satellites, thus providing users with reliable mapping details to assist them in unfamiliar places. The gadget also has technologies designed for campers and people who love outdoor activities.

One of the most remarkable features of this GPS device is the rugged and water-proof design, thus allowing this to remain intact even in tough condition. This durable design is matched with a lightweight chassis with a camouflage pattern.

Meanwhile, eTrex allows users to store up to 500 waypoints to let them easily locate any destination. Another impressive feature is the TrackBack Technology that allows people to navigate back from where they came from.

Also, the gadget has LCD screen that measures 1.1-inch x 2.1-inch and supports 64 x 128 pixels.

While most GPS devices use lithium-ion batteries which are rechargeable and high-end models use solar-panel as a source of energy, eTrex is still using two AA batteries which can only last approximately 22 hours of continuous use.

Another downside of this gadget is the lack of other media features (which are already common in most GPS devices) such as built-in camera, picture viewer, electronic compass, and area calculator.

Other features include: sun and moon information, hunt/fish calendar, and TrackLog that allows users to save up to 10 tracks. When purchased, this GPS device also comes with a wrist strap, owner’s manual, and quick start guide.
