Garmin Announces Their First Solar-Charging GPS, The "eTrex Solar"

Garmin has announced their very first solar-charging GPS called the eTrex Solar. The latest iteration in the tried-and-true eTrex series offers solar charging that can provide infinite battery life1 for hikers, geocachers and off-the-grid adventurers.

Enjoy the outdoors longer and take the road less traveled with the eTrex Solar in hand; users can view waypoints, track their location and find their way back to favourite spots on the 2.2-inch high-contrast display that’s easy to read, even in bright sunlight.

Even without the embedded solar charging the eTrex Solar can run for up to 1,800 hours in Expedition mode, allowing users to do what they love longer.

For over two decades, our iconic eTrex series has been known for its revolutionary features and capabilities, making it wildly popular among our customers. Adding infinite battery life through our solar-charging technology is just the latest example of the innovation we strive to provide in each of our outdoor products. From a short hike to living off the grid, the eTrex Solar is the perfect companion for your next outdoor adventure.
— Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales

The eTrex Solar suggested retail price is $339.99 CAD.
