Garmin eTrex Vista HCx - 2.4 in. Handheld GPS Receiver

Klein, leicht, kompakt und äußerst leistungsfähig. Der eTrex Vista HCx ist ein vollwertiges Outdoor Handgerät, das mit einem barometrischen Höhenmesser und elektromagnetischen Kompass ausgestattet ist. Mit der hochempfindlichen internen Empfangsantenne sind Positionsbestimmungen auch unter widrigen Empfangsverhältnissen möglich, wie z. B. in Schluchten oder dichten Wäldern.Ein weitere Besonderheit ist das hausnummerngenaue Autorouting mit Abbiegehinweise.Das brillante, unter Sonnenlicht ablesbare TFT-Farb-Display, kann sowohl im stromsparenden Reflektiv-Modus als auch mit Hintergrundbeleuchtung betrieben werden und eignet sich daher für jede Umgebungshelligkeit. Mit 256 Farben und der extrem hohen Auflösung stellt es selbst Karten hoher Informationsdichte, wie topografische Karten oder Seekarten, gut ablesbar dar.

I love my eTrex Vista.

Purchase. I bought it last year (Summery 2001) when I started day-hiking in the mountains around L.A. Wanted to buy it at REI for $375, but they couldn't keep them in stock. So I had to pay $399 at a map shop, but it was worth it. Soon after, I spent another $100 on... Read full review »
