The fundamental bit of this kit is the brilliant eTrex 10 which retains the core functionality, rugged construction, affordability and long battery life that made eTrex the most dependable GPS device available. The eTrex 10 has been improved with a more user friendly interface, a worldwide basemap, paperless geocaching and added support for mounting accessories.
The enhanced 2.2 inch monochrome display is easy to read in any lighting situation and the unit features the legendary toughness that’s built to withstand the elements – be it dust, dirt, humidity or water.
This brilliant little GPS unit features paperless geocaching by supporting 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 making your geocaching more fun. eTrex 10 stores and displays all the information you need, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and carrying around paper print outs. Simply upload the geocache to your unit and start hunting.
You still also get all the core functions required of any handheld GPS that enable you to safely navigate a route or between saved waypoints. Routes can be created on Basecamp, Garmin's free trip planning software, and then loaded directly into the eTrex before you venture outdoors. Basecamp works on a variety of PC applications and data is stored as universally accepted GPX files.
With its high-sensitivity, EGNOS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, eTrex 10 locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep valleys. 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 was made 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.
