The palm-sized Garmin Dakota 20 measures just 55mm wide, 100mm tall and 33mm in depth. This makes it ideal for walking, hiking and geocaching. You can also upgrade this device for use on foot, on a bike, in-car and on a boat.

The Dakota 20 is part of the Garmin Dakota series and includes the following features:

‣Electronic compass and barometric altimeter
‣Internal 850MB memory

At the centre of the Dakota 20 is a sunlight-readable 2.6-inch TFT colour touchscreen display. This device is built to be robust, is waterproof to IPX7 standards and has a 20 hour battery life, making it perfect for outdoor adventures and recreational pursuits.

The Dakota 20 also features a built-in 3-axis electronic compass - which works even when the unit is not held level and barometric altimeter - which shows your exact altitiude and predicts changes in weather conditions.

This Garmin handheld device has a high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver with HotFix satellite prediction meaning it will quickly get a GPS connection and maintain this connection in built-up areas and dense woodlands, for example.

The Dakota 20 supports paperless geocaching so there is no need for print-outs for each geocache. You can download up to 2,000 caches to the device providing you with details such as location, terrain, difficulty, hints and description. The unit also features a internal 850MB memory enabling you to store 1000 waypoints, 50 routes and 200 saved tracks. You can also share data related to you journey such as waypoints, routes and geocaches wirelessly with other compatible Dakota, Foretrex, Oregon and Colorado users at the press of a button.

As standard the Garmin Dakota 20 comes preloaded with a worldwide basemap with shaded relief. Additional maps on pregrogrammed SD/microSD Card can also be purchased. Maps available include: City Navigator street-level road maps, BlueChart g3 marine charts and GB Discoverer Ordnance Survey LandRanger maps at 1:25k or 1:50k scale. Each of these maps are available on SD/microSD Card.
