Accurate and Reliable
Garmin`s exclusive 12 channel receiver gives you a position fix in as little as 15 seconds, and stays locked on to satellites in the toughest of conditions-even under heavy foliage or tree canopy.

Keep your bearing
This all-in-one navigation device designed for the outdoor enthusiast, is the first combination GPS, altimeter and electronic compass. The electronic compass provides bearing information when you are standing still, and the altimeter determines precise altitude. The eTrex Summit can tell you the altitude at the summit, your rate of ascent, and with the built-in electronic compass, it does even more to help you stay on track.

Rugged, Compact and Easy to Use
Built to the same rugged specifications as GARMIN military products, this personal navigator stands tough in the harshest environments. The compact case is ultrasonically welded and waterproof to IPX-7 standards. That means it can withstand immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The sleek design of this GPS receiver not only makes it easy to carry, it makes it very easy to use, even when you`re on the move in rough terrain. All buttons are located on either side of the unit, allowing for simple, one-handed operation that won`t obstruct your view of the display. If the lighting conditions make it hard to see the screen, you can adjust the contrast or turn on the backlight. In addition, the eTrex Summit uses animated graphics that will help you identify your marked waypoints quickly and easily.

Navigational Extras
All the information needed to use your personal navigation system is contained on four easy to navigate pages. At a glance you can see where you`ve been, where your going and other important information like signal strength. You also have the peace of mind of Garmin`s exclusive TracBack feature that will reverse your track log and help you navigate your way back home.
