Garmin eTrex 30 Handheld GPS Unit
The Garmin eTrex 30 Handheld GPS Unit is a sophisticated yet simple to operate unit with a straightforward user interface, increased mapping capabilities and paperless geocaching as well as an enhanced 2.2-inch 65K colour, brilliant, sunlight-readable display.
The Garmin eTrex 30 is also able to withstand the worst of the weather as it is waterproof and it will cope with outdoor knocks and drops.
Thanks to its microSD card slot and 1.7 GB of internal memory, the Garmin eTrex 30 GPS can be loaded with the Garmin range of Ordnance Survey maps such as Garmin GB Discoverer for off-road walks or City Navigator NT map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads or BlueChart g2 pre-loaded cards for waterborne trips.
The Garmin eTrex 30 boasts an integrated 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass, which shows your heading even if you are standing still and even if you are not holding it horizontal.
It also features a barometric altimeter which tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude and you can also use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you to stay aware of changing weather conditions.
A high-sensitivity, EGNOS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction mean the eTrex 30 locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy forest cover and steep-sided valleys.
A range of compatible Garmin mounts enable you to use the Garmin eTrex 30 GPS Unit on a bike, a motorbike, a boat, in a road vehicle or an off-road vehicle.
The Garmin eTrex series is the first ever consumer-grade receiver range that can track both GPS and GLONASS satellites simultaneously. GLONASS is a system developed by the Russian Federation that has been fully operational since 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 if using GPS alone.
The Garmin eTrex 30 Handheld GPS Unit features paperless geocaching by supporting GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. By going paperless, you're not only helping the environment but also making your geocaching much more fun. the eTrex 30 stores and displays all the information you need, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and dealing with paper printouts. Simply upload the geocache to your unit and start hunting for caches.
