The Garmin GPS 12 Personal Navigator: an affordable 12 parallel
channel handheld for outdoor adventurers who want a basic,
hard-working 12-channel GPS, but who don't want to spend a
bundle. Based on the popular GPS 12XL, the GPS 12 offers outdoor
enthusiasts an entry-level way to gain the power and performance
of a 12-channel receiver with fast satellite acquisition in the
toughest conditions - even in heavy tree cover.
The GPS
12's rugged, water resistant case features military-tough
construction, and its rocker keypad design provides true
one-hand operation that keeps you on the move - day or night,
rain or shine. It also features 500 available waypoints and 1024
track log points, nine proximity waypoints to mark and steer
clear of dangerous areas, and Garmin's innovative TracBack
function - a feature that turns your track log into an instant
breadcrumb trail and allows you to reverse your route in order
to quickly navigate back home. As an added bonus, the GPS 12
also boasts a position averaging feature which displays a value
that reflects the estimated accuracy of your averaged position.
Include a host of advanced navigation features like enhanced
moving map graphics, average and maximum speed data, and trip
timers, and you have all the things that make the GPS 12 a
outstanding product; innovation, performance and value. |
