GARMIN Dakota 20 |
Hand held GPS receiver with color display with touchscreen, integrated base map, electronic compass, barometrical altimeter, USB interface and slot for optional µSD memory card.
The GARMIN Dakota 20 is very easy to use thanks to its touchscreen and its user friendly graphical interface. It supports multiple languages, has an integrated base map, an electronic compass and a barometrical altimeter. The Dakota 20 has 850 MB of built-in memory and a slot for a standard µSD memory card to store optional maps with even more detailed information, such as local roads, restaurants and points of interest. The built-in USB interface supports data exchange with a PC. In order to use the Dakota's auto-routing feature which computes a route from the current location to any destination, an optional map which supports routing is required, such as City Navigator Europe NT. See MapSource for a list of available maps. The very sensitive antenna provides navigation information outdoors, in a car, in a train or even in an airplane (see MapSource examples).
All models provide similar functions; these are the main differences:
Feature / Model | Dakota 10 | Dakota 20 |
---|---|---|
Internal memory | 850 MB | 850 MB |
Slot for memory card | - | YES |
Barometrical altimeter | - | YES |
Electronical compass | - | 3D¹ |
Receive data from optional heart rate monitor | - | YES |
Receive data from optional speed / cadence sensor | - | YES |
Price | Discontinued | Discontinued |
Compass¹)
2D: The GPS must be hold level for accurate readings.
3D: Tilt-compensated compass, does not require to hold the device level for accurate readings.

Note: The images below show the display of the Dakota 20 in true resolution (160x240 pixels). This does not necessarily mean that the display is shown it its true size (36x55 mm). The actual size of these images depends on the properties of your display. Many of the pages are configurable, the pictures are just examples. For the data fields, there is a choice of 43, rsp. 15 different values, see selection 1, rsp. selection 2. Unlike the Dakota 10, the Dakota 20 has a barometrical altimeter and therefore a menu item elevation profile.
