eTrex 20 takes one of the most popular and reliable GPS
handhelds and makes it better. Redesigned ergonomics, an
easier-to-use interface, paperless geocaching and
expanded mapping capabilities add up to serious
improvements for an already legendary GPS handheld.
eTrex 20 is versatile. It's tough. And it's built to
handle whatever Mother Nature can dish out and more.
See The Way
eTrex 20 has an enhanced 2.2 in 65K color, sunlight
readable display. Durable and waterproof, eTrex 20 is
built to withstand the elements. It has an upgraded
interface yet retains its legendary toughness to
withstand the elements be it dust, dirt, humidity or
water, none of which are a match for this storied
navigator.
Go Anywhere
With an array of compatible mounts, eTrex 20 is
designed for use on ATV's, 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
The new eTrex series is the first-ever consumer-grade
receivers 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 20 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 20 also supports BirdsEye™
Satellite Imagery (subscription required), that lets you
download satellite images to your device and integrate
them with your maps.
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 20 supports geocaching GPX files for downloading
geocaches and details straight to your unit. Visit
OpenCaching.com to start your geocaching adventure. By
going paperless, you're not only helping the environment
but also improving efficiency. eTrex 20 stores and
displays key information, including location, terrain,
difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more
manually entering coordinates and paper print outs.
Simply upload the GPX file to your unit and start
hunting for caches.
