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 ATVs,
bicycles, in boats, as a handheld or in your car. Use the auto mount
capability and City
Navigator 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

eTrex
is the first-ever consumer-grade receiver 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
24K maps 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
Satellite Imagery (subscription
required), that lets you download satellite images to your device and
integrate them with your maps.
