eTrex 30 takes one of the most popular and reliable GPS
handhelds and makes it better. Enhanced ergonomics, an improved
interface, paperless geocaching and expanded mapping capabilities makes
eTrex more versatile and user-friendly, while maintaining its toughness
and durability.
See The Way
eTrex 30 has an enhanced 2.2 in 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 – be it dust, dirt, humidity or water, none of
which are a match for this versatile navigator.
The Right Tools for your Adventure
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.
Get the Mapping You Want
With its microSD™ card slot and 1.7 GB of internal memory, eTrex 30 lets you load our range of Ordnance Survey maps such as
Garmin GB Discoverer™ and hit the trail, plug in
BlueChart® g2 preloaded cards for a great day on the water or
City Navigator NT® map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads (see maps tab for compatible maps). 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.
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.
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 favorite 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, EGNOS-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.
Go Anywhere
With an array of compatible mounts, eTrex 20 can be used on your
bicycle, boat, in your car or motorbike and 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.
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.
