Introduction The eTrex is a six ounce, 12 channel, hand held GPS receiver. It has a built-in GPS antenna and only five user-buttons. All buttons are located on either side of the unit, allowing for simple, one-handed operation that won't obstruct your view of the display. It runs for 22 hours on two AA alkaline batteries in 'Battery Save' mode. In addition to determining your location, the eTrex will create, name and save a location (as an electronic waypoint) in its memory, allowing you to navigate back to this point any time you want. And once you start moving, your GPS provides other data, like speed, direction of movement, time and distance to destination, and more. From these basic features, your Garmin GPS can provide one more critical benefit; peace of mind, because, with GPS you'll know where you are, where you've been and where you're going. And since you'll always know the way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out to do and enjoy the great outdoors.

A page displaying the best times for hunting and fishing at a chosen location and date. A page displaying sun and moon rise and set by date and location. eTrex Features NOTE: You should always be prepared and capable of navigating without the eTrex. It is designed to augment other forms of basic navigation, not entirely replace them. 5
