Roger’s Runway: Flying with an eTrex
This past weekend I was watching TV and came across a show about a guy trying to fly a powered paraglider over Mount Everest. That guy was Bear Grylls from the Discovery Channel show Man vs. Wild where he purposely strands himself (and some poor cameraman) in remote locations and shows you how to survive. While flying a powered paraglider over MT Everest is not my type of flying adventure, it is an interesting way to see Nepal. While watching the show, I saw them using a Garmin eTrex Legend as their GPS. Well not a true aviation unit, many people flying hanggliders, paragliders, ultralights, or even parachuting use the outdoor units as a means for navigation. The outdoor or recreation units can provide users with detail mapping, color displays, and even barometer information to see how high you are. Garmin has also designed the outdoor units to included features like glide ratio calculations and jumpmaster to help see how far you can go while going through the air. So if you are an aviation adventurer and need an inexpensive GPS for use while flying, take a look at the outdoor units. The outdoor units have many of the same basic features as the aviation units and are just as useful.
