Manufacturer Description

Pack more detail into your adventure with the eTrex Vista Cx and eTrex Legend Cx. Garmin has added removable memory to these pocket handhelds, making it easy to pack light and add maps on the go.

The eTrex Vista Cx is loaded with the same popular features found in the eTrex Vista C, including barometric altimeter, electronic compass, sunlight-readable color and advanced GPS routing capabilities all in a waterproof design. In addition, it comes with a blank 64 MB microSD card for storage of optional map detail. Download maps directly to the card or purchase microSD cards preloaded with MapSource Topo and inland lake maps, BlueChart marine cartography, and City Navigator street maps.

eTrex Vista Cx's features make it a mainstay among outdoor enthusiasts:

  • New! 64 MB microSD card for MapSource data gives you the versatility of adding highly detailed maps

  • Barometric altimeter provides extremely accurate elevation for hikers and climbers

  • Electronic compass so you can get a heading when standing still

  • 256-color, sunlight-readable display makes it easy to distinguish map details and see where you're going

  • Automatic route generation, off-route recalculation, turn-by-turn directions with alert tones, and icon-driven menus for finding points of interest (when combined with Garmin's optional MapSource CDs) navigate you safely to your destination

  • Longer battery life for more hours of outdoor enjoyment

  • Mini-USB port for fast, convenient download of map data from Garmin's entire library of optional MapSource CDs using a PC

You won't miss a thing when you take this rugged, lightweight, easy-to-use handheld out hiking, biking, boating or even geocaching.
