This unit does have 24 MB of internal memory for the storage of optional maps. The Map page displays a basic land and road map but had no coastal details in the areas we checked. Each sequential push of the page buttonthe upper button on the right-hand sidetakes you to the Map, Compass, and Menu pages. The easy to use Garmin eTrex Legend H software package uses three main pages to access data. On subsequent uses it locked on in a few seconds. The first time we turned on the unit it took about a minute to locate our position. One really handy tool built into the joystick software allows the user to make a waypoint at the current position anytime by simply pressing and holding the joystick button in.
It functions as both a four direction rocker switch and a dual function pushbutton. The front panel mounted joystick adds a new dimension to the control and operation of the eTrex. In our opinion, the side-mount buttons of the eTrex are more difficult to use and see. Unfortunately, a black on black color scheme offers little contrast and seeing the labels difficult in low light conditions.įor ease of operation we usually prefer clearly marked pushbuttons on the face of the unit. Symbol labels for the pushbuttons are molded into the plastic and located just under each button or in case of the arrow keys on the button. Color: Gray/Black.The unit fits nicely into one hand and can be operated single-handed without having your fingers block the screen. Runs up to 18 hours on two AA batteries (not included). Use Vista's extra 24 MB of memory and USB port to download and store extra data. A detailed basemap shows rivers, lakes, major routes, cities, railways and coastlines. (Plot barometric pressure over time to track changing weather conditions. A barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to determine your precise altitude.
A built-in electronic compass provides bearing information. Count on the Vista H whether you're in deep woods or near tall buildings and trees.
The lightweight Garmin eTrex Vista H quickly and precisely locates your position using its highly sensitive, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver. Great for serious hikers and climbers!
