The Garmin eTrex Vista GPS combines a basemap of North and South America, with a barometric altimeter and electronic compass. The compass provides bearing information while you're standing still and the altimeter determines your precise altitude.

The Garmin eTrex Vista GPS also boasts an internal memory capacity of 24 megabytes, which allows it to accept downloaded mapping data from GARMIN's MapSource® CD-ROMs. A silver case gives this unit a high-tech look. New to the product design, GARMIN includes marine aids to navigation in addition to the basemap. Enjoy the astonishing detail of the Garmin eTrex Vista GPS's High Resolution (160 x 288 pixels) display and bright backlighting.

The Garmin eTrex Vista GPS supports the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) differential GPS corrections through a system of ground stations and geosyncronous satellites. Without any additional equipment or fees, the Garmin eTrex Legend GPS uses WAAS to realize position accuracy of better than 9 feet, 95% of the time (typical)*.

*WAAS is available in Americas only.  Accuracy may be degraded when view of the horizon is obstructed by trees or mountains.

Designed for serious hikers and climbers, eTrex Vista is a full-featured GPS with map detail and an electronic compass and barometric altimeter for extremely accurate altitude and direction reporting.
