eTrex 30 GPS

You're looking at one of the best values in the personal GPS game today-- the Garmin eTrex 30. This bombproof GPS unit features a 2.2 inch color screen, which gives you a complete view of the basemap, which can be overlaid with downloadable topo, marine and city maps, to help you keep tabs on exactly where you are. The 3-axis compass is highly accurate and easy to use, even while moving. There's a handful of other useful features, like a barometric altimeter, a customizable dashboard, and easy sharing of data between similar units. Don't let the fear of getting lost hold you back.

Tucked into the durable body is a 2.2 inch backlit color screen, which is easily visible in all light conditions. In addition to the included worldwide basemap, you can load the 30 with TOPO 24k maps, BlueChart marine maps, and CityNavigator maps of urban areas via the MicroSD port. The result is that you can understand precisely where you are, without having to carry a map. If that wasn't enough, you can download BirdsEye satellite images, and overlay them on your map for even more information. Waypoints can be selected off of the mapping feature, or by importing them wirelessly from compatible devices. It's easy to save, modify, and index your routes for future trips. By downloading a geocaching .GPX file, you'll have access to hidden caches, for more options on your next outing. And you're able to select the profile of your trip, which helps you to organize your information between recreation, driving, boating, and training.

By using both GPS and GLONASS satellites, the eTrex 30 is able to determine your location 20% faster than GPS alone, and maintain it with greater precision. To ensure that your information is presented in a way that works for you, the dashboard is customizable with a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter, and configurable data fields, among other tools.

The Garmin eTrex 30 GPS is available in the color Black, and includes a USB cable and startup guide.
