Accurate & Reliable
With its high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, the 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
The 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 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, railroads and coastlines. The eTrex 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.
Included With Purchase

Received the new Garmin Etrex Summit GPS for christmas. Right out of the box it was easy to use and operated easily. As soon as I put in some batteries and turned it on, it immediately began searching for sattelites. It was able to locate my position and begin operating even inside of the house. It came bundled with the 2008 topo software and Mapsource software. I love the fact that it works with ordinary AA batteries. This allows me to carry a few extra batteries in my pack for extended use without being tied to rechargeables. Compact design allows it to be easily carried in a pocket for easy access. Functionality so far has been great. I intend to get into the woods soon to map some of my favorite hunting and hiking spots.
