Klein, leicht, kompakt und äußerst leistungsfähig. Der eTrex Vista HCx ist ein vollwertiges Outdoor Handgerät, das mit einem barometrischen Höhenmesser und elektromagnetischen Kompass ausgestattet ist. Mit der hochempfindlichen internen Empfangsantenne sind Positionsbestimmungen auch unter widrigen Empfangsverhältnissen möglich, wie z. B. in Schluchten oder dichten Wäldern.Ein weitere Besonderheit ist das hausnummerngenaue Autorouting mit Abbiegehinweise.Das brillante, unter Sonnenlicht ablesbare TFT-Farb-Display, kann sowohl im stromsparenden Reflektiv-Modus als auch mit Hintergrundbeleuchtung betrieben werden und eignet sich daher für jede Umgebungshelligkeit. Mit 256 Farben und der extrem hohen Auflösung stellt es selbst Karten hoher Informationsdichte, wie topografische Karten oder Seekarten, gut ablesbar dar. Minimize
