Garmin eTrex
Vista HCx GPS Receiver
Deep foliage, nor canyons faze the rugged eTrex Vista HCx. Its
high-sensitivity receiver holds a GPS signal in the toughest
environments. Similar to the Vista Cx, this handheld navigator also has
a bright color screen, barometric altimeter, electronic compass, microSD™
card slot and automatic routing for wherever adventure takes you. With
its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, eTrex Vista HCx locates
your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even
in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear — whether you’re
in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on
Vista HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most. The Vista
HCx has a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information
even while you're standing still, and its barometric altimeter tracks
changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use
the altimeter to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you
keep an eye on changing weather conditions. Adding maps is easier than
ever with Vista HCx's microSD card slot. Conveniently plug in optional
preloaded microSD cards with MapSource data for your land and sea
excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and
Vista HCx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. The card
slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't
have to worry about getting it wet.
