Garmin eTrex Vista Handheld GPS

 

The Garmin eTrex Vista combines a basemap of North and South America, with a barometric altimeter and electronic compass. The compass provides bearing information while you're standing still and the altimeter determines your precise altitude. The Vista is also designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). The Vista will provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections. The eTrex Vista also boasts an internal memory capacity of 24 megabytes, which allows it to accept downloaded mapping data from Garmin's MapSource®® CD-ROMs, including Fishing Hot Spots®. A silver case gives this unit a high-tech look. New to the Vista design, Garmin will include marine aids to navigation in addition to the basemap. These navigational aids will be pre-loaded into each Vista from the factory.
