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.
