<p>Equipped with solar charging and a multi-band GPS signal, Garmin has given their iconic eTrex line a significant upgrade. Building on the impressive battery life of the eTrex SE, the Solar trades impressive for potentially unlimited. Tucked under and around the Solar’s screen, is an efficient solar panel that can offer up to 2.5 hours of power for every 1 hour of sun exposure. The multi-band GPS means your unit has more satellites to chose from, and more ways to talk to them. This improved satellite receptionl gives a faster connection and a stronger, more reliable signal in challenging terrain. If you’re looking for connectivity and mapping, Garmin’s free Explore app will help you make the most out of your eTrex. When paired with your phone or tablet running the Explore app, you can plan trips, access topographical maps, create waypoints and routes, and sync it all to your GPS. Your phone’s connection also gives you access to active weather information. Detailed weather forecasts for your location, a specific waypoint, or a GPS coordinate, as well as real-time radar tracking, help you to stay one step ahead of bad weather. Your phone will even send alerts, notifications, and more, helping you stay as connected (or disconnected) as you want to be.</p><ul><li>Solar panel will charge your eTrex even when the unit is turned off</li><li>Solar status displays the current solar intensity and the amount of time your battery gained from that day’s sunlight</li><li>Lithium-ion battery provides up to 200 hours in GPS only mode, 100 hours in GNSS multi-band mode, 1800 hours in expedition mode, and infinite batter life when used on bright sunny days of at least 75,000 lux</li><li>Multi-band signal reception and expanded GNSS support (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS and IRNSS) provide faster and more accurate positioning and elevation data</li><li>Garmin Explore™ website and app let you sync routes, tracks and waypoints to your device.
