The high-sensitivity receiver provides the accurate positioning and functions even in canyons and dense foliage.
WAAS enabled, the GPS unit offers a positioning accuracy within 10 feet. Weighing in at a mere 5.3 oz, this Garmin GPS receiver is lightweight yet durable. Furthermore, this waterproof GPS receiver offers 18 hours of power using just two AA batteries, ensuring users can take it with them on extended treks without needing a large battery supply.
Mount fits up to a 1 (2.54 cm) diameter bar and is perfect for your bike. The Garmin GPS receiver includes an on-board barometric altimeter and electronic compass to ensure greater accuracy. Snap your device into this secure handlebar mount and its ready to ride. Offering 24 MB of internal memory, the Garmin eTrex Vista H allows the user to add new routes via the USB interface. The coordinates did not change, so one may assume that the location calculation was not affected, at least not during this short test. After the update to v280, the correct date was displayed. Additional features include a built-in marine point database as well as an America’s Highways Basemap. My eTrex Legend H was already showing the wrong date (didn't have to wait for April 6th) with firmware v270 loaded.
This Garmin GPS receiver offers an LCD backlit display screen that measures 2.1 inches by 1.1 inches.
