Get Garmin Or Get Lost
Pack more detailed information into your next adventure with the eTrex Vista HCx. Garmin has added removable memory to this pocket handheld, making it easy to pack light and add maps on the go. The eTrex Vista HCx is loaded with top-end popular features including a barometric altimeter, an electronic compass, a sunlight-readable color screen, and advanced GPS routing capabilities ? all in a waterproof design. Download maps directly to optional microSD cards with MapSource Topo, BlueChart marine cartography, and City Navigator street maps. Garmin’s WAAS-enabled receiver gives you a position fix in as little as 15 seconds, and stays locked on to satellites in the toughest of conditions-even under heavy foliage.

Enjoy Clear Reception
With its high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, the eTrex Vista HCx locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear — whether you’re in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on Vista HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most.

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 it getting wet.
