No theyre not mobile phones – but hand-held units which can be carried while walking or driving an ATV to measure field details such as distances and area. Made by Garmin, the eTrex Vista model weighs 150g and operates for up to 12 hours from two AA batteries. The same battery power installed in the GPSmap 76 version provides up to 16 hours use. The units are priced at £345 and £361 respectively.
