A staple among outdoor enthusiasts, eTrex Summit HC features a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for peak performance in any environment and includes 24 megabytes (MB) of internal memory, a detailed basemap, crisp color screen, barometric altimeter and electronic compass.
Enjoy Clear Reception
With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, 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
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 in pressure 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. Summit HC also includes 24 MB of internal memory, so you can load waypoints and routes from the included MapSource® Trip and 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. |

JUST WHAT I HOPED FOR.
Pros: holds signal well, customizable, good on batteries
Cons: it froze on me twice.
I researched many gps receivers before settling
on the Summit HC. It has met all my expectations
and more! I was concerned that it only had 24 MB
memory but I was surprised to find just how many
topo maps that holds. It is full of features that
aren't even described on the Garmin website and
is very customizable. And most importantly it's
great at keeping signal lock.

GOOD GPS
Pros: electronic compass
Summit HC is great. very good at holding
satellite lock even under heavy foliage. base
map is no good so buy the topo map. internal
memory is pretty good, it can hold at least 50
topo maps.

SUMMIT HC REVIEW
I bought this unit for Geocaching. It has proven to be
very good at holding satellite lock even under heavy
foliage. However, you do need to buy maps for it to
really unlock it's potential. I first bought the
Mapsource World Map. This proved to be a big mistake
as it did not have the detail I was looking for
(streets, etc.) Then I bought a thrid party map,
Discover Canada, and that had both topo and streets.
Now my Summit HC is great.
