The eTrex Vista? is the ultimate navigational tool designed for serious hikers and climbers. As the premier model of the eTrex range, the Vista has all the features of the eTrex plus a lot more.

With a powerful 12 parallel channel GPS receiver, the Vista comes packaged, like all eTrex models, as the smallest GPS on the market at 11.2cm tall, 5.1cm wide and weighing in at only 150 grams.

The sleek, platinum coloured, water resistant case features only five operator buttons located on either side of the unit and a navigational Clickstick? on the face panel, allowing for simple, one-handed operation.

The Vista will store up to 500 waypoints with graphic icons and boasts GARMIN's exclusive TracBack? feature that will reverse your track log and help you navigate your way back home. In addition the eTrex Vista uses animated graphics that will help you identify your marked waypoints quickly and easily.

The eTrex Vista? has an extra high resolution LCD (160 x 288 pixels) displaying a built-in basic map of main and secondary roads rivers and coastline, and contains a massive 24 megabyte memory capacity for Mapsource? data downloads. It also features a built-in fluxgate compass to keep you on course, and barometric altimeter to record the details of your trek.
