Garmin eTrex Vista - GPS receiver

The eTrex Vista combines the popular features of the eTrex Summit with a full basemap of the Americas, the Atlantic or the Pacific, a barometric altimeter, electronic compass and 24 megabytes (MB) of internal memory for extra data storage.

Pinpoint Your Location — and Direction

The Vista's barometric altimeter pinpoints your precise altitude, and its built-in electronic compass provides bearing information even while you're standing still. The Vista can also receive position corrections from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), which makes Vista's already-accurate positioning data even more reliable. In fact, when you turn on WAAS, you can increase the accuracy of Vista's position reporting to within three meters.

Add More Detail

The Vista's basemap contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national and state highways, railroads and coastlines. Vista also comes preloaded with marine navigation aids. And, with Vista's extra 24 MB of memory, you can add even more map detail with data from Garmin's entire line of MapSource® mapping products.

eTrex Vista: Puts the great outdoors in the palm of your hand.

The eTrex Vista combines a base map 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 Vista is also designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). This product will provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections.

The eTrex Vista also boasts an internal memory capacity of 24 megabytes, which allows it to accept downloaded mapping data from Garmin's MapSource CD-ROMs, including Fishing Hot Spots. A silver case gives this unit a high-tech look. New to the product design, Garmin will include marine aids to navigation in addition to the base map. These navigational aids can be pre-loaded into each unit from the factory.

It is compatible with most Garmin MapSource products including BlueChart marine cartography, MetroGuide, and Fishing Hot Spots. Accepts up to 24 megabytes of downloaded map detail.
