plus more to our popular-selling eTrex Vista. You won?t miss
a thing when you take this colourful, lightweight, easy-to-use
handheld out hiking, biking, boating or even geocaching. The

least expensive products to combine a colour TFT display and

that users have come to love and expect in the eTrex product
line, such as a compact, lightweight, waterproof design and
user-friendly interface. It is WAAS-enabled, and like all
eTrex units, the primary controls are oriented on the side
of the unit, so the user can conveniently operate it with
one hand. Also, an innovative rocker switch is located on
the face of the unit that enables the user to input data easily,
scroll through menus, or pan the map page.
In
addition to its distinguishing features ? barometric altimeter
and electronic compass ? outdoor enthusiasts will love the
latest improvements made to the eTrex Vista C:
