Using Jumpmaster
an eTrex Vista accessory
The eTrex Vista’s Jumpmaster is an accessory designed for experienced
skydivers, particularly those in the military. A military ‘jumpmaster’ is the
individual in charge of a unit of skydivers coordinating a unit or cargo drop.
Special operation forces including Navy SEALS, Army Rangers, Army Green
Berets, Marine Static and Freefall jumpers, Army Static jumpers, foreign special
operation forces and others benefit from the Jumpmaster accessory.
The Jumpmaster follows military guidelines for calculating a jumpmaster’s
high altitude release point (HARP). The accessory can auto-detect when you
have jumped to begin navigating toward the desired impact point (DIP) using
the barometer and electronic compass.
