Garmin® Goes Hunting with Camouflaged eTrex®

OLATHE, Kan. — Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), is pleased to introduce the most recent addition to the eTrex Personal Navigator® series — the camouflaged eTrex. Through a partnership with Jordan Outdoor Enterprises Ltd., Garmin now offers the popular eTrex GPS in a hunter-savvy camouflage casing.

"This product has hunting and wilderness adventure written all over it," said Gary Kelley, director of marketing, Garmin International. "When we added the REALTREE HARDWOODS® pattern to the eTrex, we had sportsmen squarely in our sights."

Concealed beneath the new sportsman-friendly pattern is a compact, waterproof handheld GPS — among the smallest on the market. Measuring roughly 4"x 2"x1" and weighing less than 6 oz., this personal navigator is packed with all of the features of the original eTrex, plus a hunting and fishing calculator that provides optimal times of day to plan your sporting excursions. The eTrex offers easy, one-hand operation with buttons located on each side; logical operations, using four information pages; proven 12-channel GPS performance; long battery life (22 hours on two AA batteries); storage for up to 500 waypoints, including 30 user-configurable icons from which to choose; and Garmin's patented TracBack® technology to find your way back to your starting point.

The camo-colored eTrex is expected to be available in February 2001 and has a list price of $145.
