Deep foliage, nor canyons faze the rugged eTrex Vista HCx. Its
high-sensitivity receiver holds a GPS signal in the toughest environments.
Similar to the Vista Cx, this handheld navigator also has a bright color screen,
barometric altimeter, electronic compass, microSD™ card slot and automatic
routing for wherever adventure takes you.
Enjoy Clear Reception
With its high-sensitivity, WASS-enabled GPS receiver, eTrex Vista HCx locates
your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy
cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear — whether you’re in deep woods or
just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on Vista HCx to help you find
your way when you need it the most.
Get Your Bearings
The Vista HCx has a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing
information even while you're standing still, and its barometric altimeter
tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use
the altimeter to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an
eye on changing weather conditions.
Expand Your Memory
Adding maps is easier than ever with Vista HCx's microSD card slot.
Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource data for
your land and sea excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street
maps, and Vista HCx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. The
card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't
have to worry about getting it wet.
Take It Anywhere
Like the rest of the eTrex series, Vista HCx is lightweight and compact — the
perfect size for all your travels.
Other Vista HCx Features
- Waterproof, so it can withstand the elements or an accidental dunk in
water.
- Crisp 256-color, sunlight-readable display makes it easy to distinguish
map details — plus, it looks fantastic
- Fast USB computer connection so you can transfer waypoints and other data
to your computer
