Description

Garmin eTrex Vista HCx

Neither deep foliage, nor canyons faze the rugged eTrex Vista HCx. Its high-sensitivity receiver holds a GPS signal in the toughest environments. This handheld navigator also has a bright color screen, barometric altimeter, electronic compass, microSD™ card slot and automatic routing for wherever adventure takes you.   With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, eTrex Vista HCx locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. 

Get Your Bearings:

• The Vista HCx has a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even while you're standing still, and its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude.
• You can even use the altimeter to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions.

Expand Your Memory:

• Adding maps is easier than ever with Vista HCx's microSD card slot.
• Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource data for your land and sea excursions.
• Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Vista HCx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination.
• The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet.
• Take It Anywhere: Like the rest of the eTrex series, Vista HCx is lightweight and compact — the perfect size for all your travels.
