The eTrex Touch 25 adds colour touchscreen capability to the ever reliable eTrex range of handheld GPS devices. This new model retains the core functionality, rugged construction, affordability and long battery life that made eTrex the most dependable GPS device available and features a much improved user interface, a worldwide basemap, paperless geocaching and added support for mounting accessories. This Adventure Bundle includes loads of freebies such as TopoActive European mapping for 46 countries, a Veho Pebble Smartstick 500mA power pack (RRP £25), a Birdseye Select mapping voucher worth (RRP £19.99) and a cycle handlebar mount (RRP £14.00)
TopoActive mapping for 46 European Countries is preloaded onto the device and gives enhanced detail over the standard Basemap, admittedly it's not as detailed as good old OS mapping but works well for cycle touring and general navigation. If you want to get full OS detailing on this device simply use the included BirdsEye Select Voucher which will give you multiple areas up to 3000sqk of Explorer 1:25,000 scale mapping (the Lake District National Park is approximately 2600sqk).
With a 2.6 inch colour capacitive touchscreen this versatile GPS is easy to use and read in any lighting situation; it is both durable and waterproof and features the legendary eTrex toughness that’s built to withstand the elements – be it dust, dirt, humidity or water.
This brilliant little GPS unit features paperless geocaching by supporting GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. Visit OpenCaching.com to start your geocaching adventure. By going paperless, you're not only helping the environment but also making your geocaching more fun. The Garmin eTrex 25 Touch stores and displays all the information you need, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and carrying around paper print outs. Simply upload the geocache to your unit and start hunting.
You still also get all the core functions required of any handheld GPS that enable you to safely navigate a route or between saved waypoints. Routes can be created on Basecamp, Garmin's free trip planning software, and then loaded into the eTrex 25 before you venture outdoors. Basecamp works on a variety of PC applications and data is stored as universally accepted GPX files. You even get a 3-axis tilt-compensated compass that works at any angle to make navigation easier and it is optimised for multiple activities such as hiking, cycling and geocaching.
With its high-sensitivity, EGNOS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, eTrex 25 locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep valleys. The new eTrex series is the first-ever consumer-grade receivers that can track both GPS and GLONASS satellites simultaneously. GLONASS is a system developed by the Russian Federation that was made fully operational in 2012. When using GLONASS satellites the time it takes for the receiver to “lock on” to a position is (on average) approximately 20 percent faster than using GPS. And when using both GPS and GLONASS, the receiver has the ability to lock on to 24 more satellites than using GPS alone.
