The new Garmin eTrex Solar is a lightweight and highly durable GPS unit, resistant to water, dust, humidity and the weather. Its easy-to-use interface means you'll spend more time admiring the scenery and less time searching for information, and the 2.2 inch Solar display is easy to read in any light, with the potential for unlimited battery life in optimum weather conditions.

The high sensitivity multi-band GPS can locate and maintain your position even in wooded areas or around tall buildings or cliffs, utilising multiple frequencies sent by satellites to improve positional accuracy. Connecting your device to the Garmin Explore app unlocks a huge range of feature including real-time forecast and trip planning, as well as smart notifications and wireless software updates so you’ll always have the information you need at a moment’s notice.

The eTrex Solar can even receive automatic updates from Geocaching Live for paper-free geocaching - no more manually entering coordinates and scribbling down notes, just connect via the Garmin Explore app and start hunting for caches!
