A staple among outdoor enthusiasts, eTrex Summit HC features a
high-sensitivity GPS receiver for peak performance in any environment and
includes 24 megabytes (MB) of internal memory, a detailed basemap, crisp color
screen, barometric altimeter and electronic compass.
Enjoy Clear Reception
With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, eTrex Summit HC 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 Summit HC to help you find
your way when you need it the most.
Get Your Bearings
eTrex Summit HC 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.
Add More Detail
eTrex Summit HC’s basemap contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates,
national and state highways and coastlines. Summit HC also includes 24 MB of
internal memory, so you can load waypoints and routes from the included
MapSource® Trip & Waypoint Manager software and add map detail from Garmin's
entire line of optional MapSource® mapping products. Its 256-color,
sunlight-readable display makes it easy to distinguish map details — even in
bright sunlight.
