GPS Navigation Devices

Product Details:

Garmin eTrex 10 Handheld GPS retains the core functionality, rugged construction, affordability and long battery life that made eTrex the most dependable GPS device available. We improved the user interface and added a worldwide basemap, paperless geocaching and support for spine-mounting accessories.

• Worldwide basemap
• 2.2″ monochrome display, easy to read in any light
• GPS and GLONASS satellites for faster positioning
• Paperless geocaching
• 1000 Waypoints/Favourites/Locations
• 50 Routes
• Track Log: 10,000 points, 100 saved tracks
• 25-hour battery life with 2 AA batteries

Product Details:

Garmin continue to refresh their wide range of GPS receivers, with several types that are broadly suitable for cycling use - that is, they are compact and lightweight, weatherproof, replace all the essential cyclecomputer functions, can be mounted on handlebars and/or stem, will record a tracklog, and support multi-point Routes. As I write, current types consist of the Edge, Oregon, Dakota, GPSMap 62, and Etrex (old and new) ranges, several models in each. There are also one or two other models such as the Montana and Forerunner, that could be used by a cyclist who is determined to be different. Add in several very capable discontinued models and the choice can seem bewildering. It’s important to know that Garmin performance, usability and capability is really much the same across the board, so the fundamental decisions are simply “touchscreen or not?” and “bigger screen or smaller box?”. Most units are now map types, designed for use with Garmin’s own maps or with OS maps (remixed by Garmin). The maps are always an extra expense (apart from bundled deals) so it’s worth remembering that these types still function perfectly adequately without any maps installed, or there is the option of using free maps from OpenStreetMap which are pretty good in the UK.

• The Edge is Garmin’s range of cycle-specific GPSs. They are the smallest and neatest-looking units, rather obviously taking their DNA from cyclecomputers, and I think this above everything else is enough to sway many buyers. Their principal disadvantage (shared with smartphones and the wristwatch-style Forerunners) relates to limited battery runtime, enough for a day-ride only. This leads many Edge owners down the path of an external battery pack and curly cable, to get them through the longer events. A bit like front lights, for some people this is a non-issue, for others it would be a dealbreaker.

Product DescriptionGo from Runways to Roadways

• 4.3" touchscreen display
• Fast 5 Hz GPS refresh rate
• Map display with terrain and obstacle warnings
• Street navigation with preloaded maps

Dual-duty GPS Portable:

• The most affordable model in the series, aera 500 combines the best in moving-map display features with intuitive, menu-driven touchscreen control. Featuring a crisp 4.3" QVGA wide-format touchscreen and preloaded graphical mapping, this versatile, feature-rich navigator comes ready for takeoff, right out of the box.

Fly aera Anywhere:

• In aviation mode, aera 500’s detailed chart-style shaded mapping and extensive terrain and aviation databases help you visualize your flight path in relation to nearby navaids, terrain, SUAs and obstructions. To keep you aware of special airspace activity, more than 683 parachute drop zones are detailed in the Americas navigation database. Plus, the addition of private airports and heliports to the database affords even more navigation and emergency “nearest” options.
• A database-driven terrain advisory feature offers TAWS-like color coding and pop-up alerts when possible obstructions or ground proximity conflicts loom. And with terrain/obstacle data shown at standard 30 arc-second resolution, you’ll enjoy a surprising level of detail on the display. Its graphical Terrain page offers both overhead and vertical profile views of the topography you’re flying over. IFR map mode lets you display and navigate on high or low enroute airways. You can also pull up MEAs (Minimum Enroute Altitudes) and distances between intersections by touching the airway on the map.
• The internal GPS updates at a rate of 5 times per second (5 Hz), which allows your moving map and flight data to display smoothly and continuously. And for added safety, an optional power/data cable (sold separately) makes it easy to interface aera 500 with the GTX 330 Mode S transponder in your aircraft, so you can access and display TIS traffic alerts in busy terminal airspace. You can also use the aera to load communications frequencies into your SL 40 Comm or SL 30 Nav/Comm transceiver.

Built to Fly:

• On the ground, aera navigation continues with full automotive GPS capability and preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps. Just like our nüvi® line of touchscreen automotive navigators, aera 500 offers voice-guided turn-by-turn directions with text-to-speech audio technology that calls out streets by name. There’s built-in Bluetooth® support for wireless hands-free calling with your compatible mobile phone. And built-in points of interest include millions of motels, restaurants, gas stations and ATMs. To speed your transition from aircraft to automotive mode, a unique smart mount offers instant clip-and-go car navigation.

Both versions of the 551 marine systems come preloaded with BlueChart g2 marine charts for UK and Ireland and a worldwide basemap. The difference between the GPSMAP 551 and GPSMAP 551s is the s version comes with a sounder for defining depth contours, finding fish and locating objects underwater. You will need to purchase a transducer to enable the sounder to operate.
