New Garmin Etrex Touch
Adventure at Your Fingertips: Why the Garmin eTrex Touch is the Ultimate Tool for Kenya’s Outdoors
If you’ve ever found yourself deep in the Aberdare ranges or navigating the vast plains of the Mara, you know that a reliable GPS is more than just a luxury—it’s a necessity.
The eTrex series has long been the backbone of outdoor navigation in Kenya. Now, the eTrex Touch 35 takes that legendary reliability and adds the one thing modern adventurers have been waiting for: a seamless, sunlight-readable touchscreen interface.
Here is why the new Garmin eTrex Touch is making waves at Garmin Kenya.
1. Intuitive Touchscreen for Every Activity
The standout feature is the 2.6-inch color capacitive touchscreen. Unlike older models that required toggling through buttons, the eTrex Touch allows you to swipe and tap just like your smartphone. But unlike a phone, this screen is designed to be readable in the harshest African midday sun and is rugged enough to withstand dust, rain, and mud.
2. Multi-GNSS Support: Never Lose Your Fix
In Kenya’s deep valleys or under heavy forest canopy, standard GPS can sometimes struggle. The eTrex Touch utilizes both GPS and GLONASS satellite systems. By tapping into more satellites, the device acquires your position faster and maintains it with pinpoint accuracy, even in “canyons” or thick bush.
3. Built for the Kenyan Trekker
Whether you are a casual weekend hiker or a professional surveyor, the eTrex Touch 35 is packed with tools tailored for the field:
Electronic Compass: A 3-axis tilt-compensated compass that shows your heading even when you’re standing still or holding the device at an angle.
Barometric Altimeter: Crucial for climbers tackling Mt. Kenya or the Elephant Hill, providing precise elevation data and helping you monitor weather changes.
Preloaded Activity Profiles: Easily switch between profiles optimized for hiking, cycling, geocaching, or mountain biking
4. Smart Connectivity
The eTrex Touch 35 isn’t just an isolated tool. It features wireless connectivity that allows you to:
Receive Smart Notifications: Link it to your smartphone to get texts and alerts directly on your GPS screen while your phone stays safe in your backpack.
LiveTrack: Allow family and friends to follow your trek in real-time—a fantastic safety feature for solo explorers.
Share Wirelessly: Send your waypoints, tracks, and routes to other compatible Garmin devices with just a tap.
5. Rugged & Ready
With an IPX7 water rating, this device is built to survive a sudden tropical downpour or an accidental drop in a stream. It runs on two standard AA batteries, offering up to 16 hours of life. Pro tip: Always carry a spare set of lithium batteries for those multi-day expeditions in the wild!
