Using Jumpmaster
an eTrex Vista accessory
The eTrex Vista’s Jumpmaster is an accessory designed for experienced
skydivers, particularly those in the military. A military ‘jumpmaster’ is the
individual in charge of a unit of skydivers coordinating a unit or cargo drop.
Special operation forces including Navy SEALS, Army Rangers, Army Green
Berets, Marine Static and Freefall jumpers, Army Static jumpers, foreign special
operation forces and others benefi t from the Jumpmaster accessory.
The Jumpmaster follows military guidelines for calculating a jumpmaster’s
high altitude release point (HARP). The accessory can auto-detect when you
have jumped to begin navigating toward the desired impact point (DIP) using
the barometer and electronic compass.
