The Garmin eTrex Vista C is a pocket-sized handheld that brings colour, automatic routing, longer battery life, plus more to the eTrex Vista. The eTrex Vista C and the eTrex Legend C are Garmin's smallest, least expensive products to combine a colour TFT display and advanced GPS routing capabilities in a waterproof design. Americas Recreational basemap built in.

Latest improvements
• 256-colour, sunlight-readable display makes it easy to distinguish map details and see where you're going
• Automatic route generation, off-route recalculation, turn-by-turn directions with alert tones, and icon-driven menus for finding points of interest (when combined with Garmin's optional MapSource CDs)
• Longer battery life
• Mini-USB port for fast, convenient download of map data from Garmin's entire library of optional MapSource CDs using a PC

The Garmin eTrex Vista C still includes those popular features of the eTrex product line, such as a compact, lightweight, waterproof design and user-friendly interface. The eTrex Vista C is WAAS-enabled, and like all eTrex units, the primary controls are oriented on the side of the unit, so the user can conveniently operate it with one hand. Also, an innovative rocker switch is located on the face of the unit that enables the user to input data easily, scroll through menus, or pan the map page.
