Touch Screen
Endura provides the easiest and most intuitive operation using touch screen menus, recenter map using touch and drag, and scroll down through lists with just the touch of a finger.

Physical Buttons
Endura provides quick access to all primary functions using gloves in harsh weather or rugged conditions. The two most important buttons on the device are the Menu and Pages buttons below the screen. The Menu button will always take you to the Main Menu of Endura. The Pages button allows you to rotate through the primary information pages on the device.

On-Board Mapping
Safari contains advanced AccuTerra on-board mapping with 500ft topographic contours, land use shading, primary and secondary NAVTEQ road network, lakes and rivers, and 200,000 key outdoor points-of-interest such as campgrounds and gas stations.

Mark waypoints using any of over 190 assorted outdoor icons, and use the trip computer to record trails, map elevation changes, and share online or with your friends.

GPX Trail Files
One of the most intriguing features of the Endura GPS family is the ability to use and create GPX files. Shared GPX trail, waypoint and geocaching content is readily available on the internet from free or subscription web sites without needing file conversion. You can also save your own trails and waypoints as GPX files with your GPS and share those adventures on the web, through email or view on Google Earth.

Paperless Geocaching
Geocaching is a high-tech, outdoor treasure hunt where adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices search for hidden containers--called geocaches--and then share their finds and experiences online. It has become so popular that there are almost 1 Million geocaches hidden worldwide. Safari capabilities include:

  • Loading GPX or LOC cache files on the GPS
  • Displaying every detail needed including cache size, terrain difficulty, description and hints
  • Easy and effective navigation to each cache location
  • Filter the geocache list based on size, cache type, terrain and difficulty

microSD Slot
The Safari boasts a microSD expansion slot, supporting up to 32GB of additional storage for trails, geocaches, waypoints, pictures, etc.

Photo/Video Viewing
The on-board Photo Viewer and Video Player is compatible with standard file formats for digital cameras, trail cameras, etc. using microSD cards with SD adapter.

MP3 Playback
Take some tunes with you and enjoy using the MP3 player.
