See The Way
eTrex 30 has an enhanced 2.2 in 65K colour, 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 – be it dust, dirt, humidity or water, none of which are a
match for this storied navigator.
New Tools For Your Trek
eTrex 30 adds a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass,
which shows your heading even when you’re standing still, without
holding it level. Also added is a barometric altimeter which tracks
changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude, and you even can
use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an
eye on changing weather conditions.
Go Anywhere
With an array of compatible mounts, eTrex 30 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 Australia & New Zealand 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 30 lets you load
TOPO Australia & New Zealand and hit the trail, plug in
BlueChart® g2 preloaded cards for a great day on the water or
City Navigator Australia & New Zealand NT® map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads (see maps tab for compatible maps). eTrex 30 also supports
BirdsEye™
Satellite Imagery (subscription required), that lets you download
satellite images to your device and integrate them with your maps.
Share Wirelessly
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.
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 30 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 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.
