Garmin has introduced the eTrex Touch GPS handheld navigator – purpose-built for all types of outdoor adventures with a new high-resolution colour touchscreen that allows users to swipe and zoom in on routes.
Designed to guide adventurers through a wide variety of activities, the eTrex Touch features preloaded TopoActive maps for roads and trails, and the option to add an Outdoor Maps+ plan for access to additional premium mapping content. With up to 130 hours of battery life, adventurers can go on entire excursions without needing to recharge.
“No matter the outdoor adventure, the new eTrex Touch will be your essential companion through it. Featuring a bright colour touchscreen that lets you tap, swipe and zoom, the eTrex Touch puts advanced mapping and navigation at your fingertips. Combined with rugged durability and dependable battery life, it allows you to enjoy all of your outdoor activities even more,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of consumer sales and marketing.
The device has a slender design. Light and easy to carry, it has a bright, 3-inch, high-resolution touchscreen and fits in the palm of the user’s hand. It comes with preloaded maps, with TopoActive Maps for roads and trails, with terrain contours, topographic elevations, points of interest and more.
Out of the box, the device offers up to 130 hours of battery life – and up to 650 hours when switched to expedition mode – so outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy activities even longer.
An Outdoor Maps+ plan, sold separately, can be added to receive premium mapping content, including high-detail elevation contours, high-resolution satellite imagery, land boundaries, wildlife areas and more.
It has an IP67 dust/water rating and an impact-resistant to MIL-STD-810 specifications design. Multi-band GPS support provides superior location accuracy, allowing explorers to know exactly where they are on their journey.
