Rock Solid GPS

With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, eTrex 10 will locate your position quickly and precisely, maintaining its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. With added HotFix and GLONASS support, you can count on faster positioning and a more reliable signal--whether you're in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on eTrex 10 to help you find your way when you need it the most.

Rugged and Ready

The eTrex 10 is a breeze to operate, indoors and out, with five buttons on either side within easy reach. With its bright yellow case and included lanyard, it's tough to lose. Plus, since the eTrex 10 is waterproof to IPX7 standards, it can take an accidental splash or dunk in the water and still continue to perform.

Find It and Go

With eTrex 10, your adventure will last, with over 20 hours of battery life on two AA batteries (rechargeable NiMH or Lithium batteries work great). As a handheld, it's plenty portable, weighing in at just 5 ounces with batteries. It's also compatible with a variety of spine mounting accesories, for use in cycling or other activities.

Paperless Geocaching

eTrex 10 also supports geocaching, a high-tech version of hide-and-seek where you explore the outdoors in search of hidden "treasure" and adventure. Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants (members) navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. The eTrex 10 is the perfect way to get started.
