Garmin eTrex 30 Handheld GPS

Enhanced ergonomics, an improved interface, paperless geocaching and expanded mapping capabilities make the Garmin eTrex 30 Handheld GPS more versatile and user-friendly while maintaining its legendary toughness and durability.

eTrex 30 has an enhanced 2.2-inch 65K colour, brilliant, sunlight-readable display.

Durable and waterproof, eTrex 30 is built to withstand the elements. It has an upgraded interface and stands strong against the elements; dust, dirt, humidity or water, none is a match for this versatile navigator.

eTrex 30 adds a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass, which shows your heading even when you're standing still and without holding it level.

Also added is a barometric altimeter which tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude - and you can even use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions.

With its microSD card slot and 1.7 GB of internal memory, eTrex 30 lets you load Garmin's range of Ordnance Survey maps such as Garmin GB Discoverer and hit the trail, plug in BlueChart g2 pre-loaded cards for a great day on the water or load City Navigator NT map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads.

eTrex 30 also supports BirdsEye Select map download service that lets you download premium raster maps to your device and integrate them with your existing maps.

eTrex 30 supports geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. By going paperless, you're not only helping the environment but also improving efficiency.

eTrex 30 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.

Garmin eTrex 30 lets you share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with other compatible Garmin GPS devices. So now your friends also can enjoy your favourite hike or cache – simply press 'send' to transfer your information to similar units and let the games begin.

With its high-sensitivity, EGNOS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, eTrex 30 locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.

With an array of compatible mounts, the Garmin eTrex 30 Handheld GPS can be used on your bicycle, motorbike or boat, in your car or off-road vehicle.

You even get turn-by-turn directions with the auto mount and City Navigator NT maps. Wherever you think you might take eTrex, it has the mapping and mounts to get you there.

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% 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.
