Garmin eTrex® It's a small wonder!  Garmin's eTrex GPS family takes the best features of a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver and packages them in a six ounce unit that is only four inches high and two inches wide--it literally fits in the palm of your hand.  It's completely waterproof so it can take an accidental splash or dunk in the water and still continue to perform. Besides its small size, mariners and outdoorsmen will likely notice the sleek design of the eTrex.  All buttons are located on either side of the unit, allowing for simple, one-handed operation that won't obstruct your view of the display.  In fact, the eTrex features only five operator buttons for the ultimate in user-friendly design.  Thanks to its bright yellow case, the eTrex will be hard to misplace and easy to find in any boat or backpack. Inside the eTrex, you will find the proven performance of a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver that will run for 18 hours on just two AA batteries (not included).  No need to worry about blackouts with this unit--the eTrex will continue to maintain a tight satellite lock even while operating in forest-like conditions.   The eTrex is a great GPS value; however, we must point out that it does NOT report latitude or longitude directly.  It reports course to steer to a point and other RELATIVE position parameters.  If you want a direct report of latitude and longitude, you must lay in a mark.   eTrex packages include: eTrex GPS receiver with built-in antenna Wrist strap User's manual Unfamiliar with GPS specifications and jargon?  Check our our GPS Glossary for help.
