Garmin eTrex 10

If the main thing that you want from a GPS is a reliable grid reference or lat / long fix, to add confidence to your navigation then this is the GPS unit for you.

Only Garmin could make the eTrex better. The new eTrex 10 retains the core functionality, rugged construction, affordability and long battery life that made eTrex the most dependable GPS device available. 

Garmin have improved the user interface and added a worldwide basemap, paperless geocaching and added support for spine mounting accessories. You?ll recognize the name. You?ll recognize the quality. But the eTrex 10 is an entirely new device ? a device that only Garmin could offer.

See The Way
eTrex 10 has an enhanced 2.2 inch monochrome display that?s easy to read in any lighting situation. Its easy-to-use interface means you?ll spend more time enjoying the outdoors and less time searching for information. Both durable and waterproof, eTrex 10 features the legendary toughness that is built to withstand the elements ? be it dust, dirt, humidity or water, none of which are a match for this legendary navigator.

Find Fun
eTrex 10 features paperless geocaching by supporting GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. Visit OpenCaching.com to start your geocaching adventure. By going paperless, you're not only helping the environment but also making your geocaching more fun. eTrex 10 stores and displays all the information you need, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints & descriptions, which means no more entering coordinates manually or paper print outs. Simply upload the geocache to your unit and start hunting for caches.

Keep Your Fix
With its high-sensitivity, EGNOS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix® satellite prediction, eTrex 10 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 eTrex 10 to help you find your way when you need it the most.

Go Global
The new eTrex series is the first-ever consumer-grade receiver that can track both GPS and GLONASS satellites simultaneously. GLONASS is a system developed by the Russian Federation that was due to be fully operational in 2012. When using GLONASS satellites, the time it takes for the receiver to ?lock on" to a position is (on average) approximately 20 percent faster than using GPS. And when using both GPS and GLONASS, the receiver has the ability to lock on to 24 more satellites than using GPS alone.
