Overview |
|
|
Based on the popular GPS 12XL, the GPS 12CX offers more than
just a pretty picture. The LCD screen on Garmin's new GPS 12CX
takes handheld navigation to another level. Characters, icons,
numbers, and letters are crisply rendered in any of three bright
colors: red, green, and blue. These colors don't wash out in
bright sunlight and are perfect for sorting out map pages
cluttered with waypoints and tangled track logs.
The
12CX's powerful 12 parallel channel receiver gives you
continuous position updates whether you're cruising the placid
surface of a lake or bushwhacking in the outback. It even boasts
vastly improved battery life - up to 50 percent over the
respectable 24 hours of its predecessor - in case your
adventures take you farther afield than you planned.
Garmin handhelds are renowned for their ease of use, and the GPS
12CX is no different. The new keypad layout includes separate
"Zoom In" and "Zoom Out" keys for simple manipulation of the
moving map page, and the enhanced graphic interface organizes
1000 waypoints into an easily accessible tab-file system. This
unit also comes with a full complement of advanced software
features such as a point database of cities, TracBack navigation
and graphic steering guidance. |
