Ideal for serious hikers and climbers, the rugged eTrex Vista H features a high-sensitivity receiver, detailed basemap, barometric altimeter, electronic compass and 24 megabytes (MB) of internal memory for extra data storage.
Enjoy Clear Reception
With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, eTrex Vista H 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 Vista H to help you find your way when you need it the most.
Get Your Bearings
The Vista H 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
The Vista's basemap contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national and state highways, railroads and coastlines. Vista H also comes preloaded with marine navigation aids. And, with Vista's extra 24 MB of memory and USB port, you can download even more map detail with data from Garmin's entire line of MapSource® mapping products.
