Garmin Dakota 10 and Dakota 20 Handheld GPS Navigators
Headed for the great outdoors this summer? You might want to take Garmin's new Dakota 10 or Dakota 20 handheld GPS navigator with you. These lightweight, rugged and waterproof devices have a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, worldwide basemap and 2.6-inch color touchscreen display, and they offer up to 20 hours of battery life on two AA batteries.
The Dakota 10 and Dakota 20 are both ready for outdoor adventure with 850 MB of internal memory which can store up to 1,000 waypoints, 50 routes, 2,000 geocaches and an active tracklog of up to 10,000 points and 200 saved tracks. But only the Dakota 20 features a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter, and a microSD card slot for increased mapping and memory storage. Garmin says that these devices will quickly acquire and maintain satellite reception, even in heavy tree cover or deep canyons thanks to a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with HotFix, which automatically calculates and stores satellite information.
The Garmin Dakota 10 and Dakota 20 are expected in the 3rd quarter and will cost you $299.99 for the Dakota 10 and $349.99 for the 20.
