Garmin Dakota 20 takes the greatest features of the top end Garmin models and places them at a super low price point. This power packed handheld unit includes touchscreen navigation, high-sensitivity GPS with HotFix™ satellite prediction, barometric altimeter, 3-axis electronic compass, microSD card slot and a worldwide basemap.
The Dakota 20 offers a 2.6" color touch screen that's easy to read in sunlight and makes navigation simple. Since it already contains a worldwide basemap, it's ready to go right out of the box. The Dakota 20 also accepts additional MapSource detailed map data such as topographic, marine and road maps. Map data can be provided from your PC, or via the built in Micro SD card slot so you can change Map Data easily as your needs change. With road map data, it even gives turn by turn routing.
The 3 Axis Compass allows you to get a bearing even if you're standing still or aren't holding the unit level. Dakota 20 also features a barometric altimeter that allows you to determine your altitude precisely and plot altitude changes.
The Dakota is a terrific unit for Geocaching, accepting cache data download right from your computer. No more paper printouts or manually entered coordinates. And it holds up to 2000 caches! Want to share your map and cache data with a friend? The Dakota lets you send all your favorites with wireless simplicity to other compatible units including Dakota, Oregon, Colorado and Foretrex models.
The high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver with HotFix™ satellite prediction allows the Dakota 20 to locate your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. Like all Garmin units, the Dakota 20 is durable and waterproof so it's ready to get out and play.
