eTrex
30 takes one of the most popular and reliable GPS handhelds and makes
it better. Enhanced ergonomics, an improved interface, paperless
geocaching and expanded mapping capabilities makes eTrex more versatile
and user-friendly, while maintaining its toughness and durability.
See the Way
eTrex 30 has an enhanced 2.2", 65K color, sunlight-readable display.
Durable and water resistant, eTrex 30 is built to withstand the
elements. It has an upgraded interface and stands strong against dust,
dirt, humidity or water.
New Tools for Your Trek
eTrex 30 adds a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass,
which shows your heading even when you’re standing still, without
holding it level. Also added is a barometric altimeter which tracks
changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude, and you even can
use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an
eye on changing weather conditions.
Go Anywhere
With an array of compatible mounts, eTrex 30 is designed for use on
ATVs, bicycles, in boats, as a handheld or in your car. Use the auto
mount capability and City Navigator NT® maps for turn-by-turn driving
directions, or the rugged mount for your motorcycle or ATV. Wherever you
think you might take eTrex, it has the mapping and mounts to get you
there.
Go Global
eTrex 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 will 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.
Add Maps
With its microSD™ card slot and 1.7 GB of internal memory, eTrex 30
lets you load TOPO 24K maps and hit the trail, plug in BlueChart® g2
preloaded cards for a great day on the water or City Navigator NT map
data for turn-by-turn routing on roads (see maps tab for compatible
maps). eTrex 30 also supports BirdsEye Satellite Imagery (subscription
required), that lets you download satellite images to your device and
integrate them with your maps.
Share Wirelessly
eTrex 30 lets you share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches
wirelessly with other compatible devices. So now your friends also can
enjoy your favorite hike or cache – simply press “send” to transfer your
information.
Keep Your Fix
With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix®
satellite prediction, eTrex locates your position quickly and precisely
and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.
Find Fun
eTrex 30 supports
geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. Visit
Geocaching.com
to start your geocaching adventure. By going paperless, you're not only
helping the environment but also improving efficiency. eTrex 30 stores
and displays key information, including location, terrain, difficulty,
hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering
coordinates and paper printouts. Simply upload the GPX file to your unit
and start hunting for caches.
