Garmin eTrex Vista Cx Handheld Navigator

Pack more detail into your adventure with the eTrex Vista Cx. This popular handheld navigator has a bright color screen, barometric altimeter, electronic compass and microSD™ card for expandable memory, and it can route you on roads or off, for wherever your travels take you.

Expand Your Memory
Storing data is easier than ever with Vista Cx's included 64 megabyte (MB) microSD card. Just connect to your computer and load optional MapSource® software to view detailed maps of your surroundings. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet. You can also use optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource data for your land and sea excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Vista Cx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination.

Take It Anywhere
The Vista Cx 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. Like the rest of the eTrex series, the rugged Vista Cx is WAAS-compatible and waterproof, so it can withstand the elements or an accidental dunk in water.
