Summary: excelent for its price
Comment: This simple device is reliable for fixing positions. And If you know about coordinates, you can set it in, and bingo. You can compensate what it lacks of by using coordinates from a map while you paid unexpensive.

Summary: GPS for dummies!
Comment: This is a great little hand-held unit, especially for people who have found larger GPS things difficult to use. As a wilderness kayaker, I spend a lot of time on remote, isolated beaches and islands, and have found the Garmin E-Trex to be perfect for me. One hand use, small size, and using 2 easily replaceable AA batteries, I don't have to worry about getting it wet or plugging it in. Highly recommended for water travelers.

Summary: 12 Satellites.
Comment: My eTrek is primarily used as a navigational aid when I'm bicycling the poorly signposted roads of Northern Ireland. The signposts are there, of course, hidden behind a corner as you pass them by, or as an indication to a town fifteen miles further on from the town you'd expect to be signposted in the first place. All this turns a long day in the saddle, into a very long day in the saddle. But with the eTrek loaded with waypoints, I simply have to follow the guiding - Go To - pointer, and save myself a lot of hassle.

The eTrek hasn't saved my life, as yet, but one's imagination can fill in the blanks. Just remember to carry extra batteries and make sure that your mobile phone is charged :-)

Summary: works great for my needs
Comment: This unit has done all it is supposed to do for me and I use it almost everyday for at least 8 hours a day. I use it with a laptop and mapping software for traveling with a laptop. I'd hate to imagine doing what I have to do without it. It can get you out of some very rural areas fast. As far as hiking or something in that area I couldn't make any comments because that is not what I use it for. Also, I bought the Garmin PC Interface Cable with Cigarette Adapter for eTrex & eMap (Part No. 010-10268-00) with this unit. I didnt have quite the same service out of it, but like I say I run this in what some would say heavy duty or commercial application. It was not a major problem for someone with some handyman background. The cigarette plug in melted and blew a fuse, so I had to install another lighter plug in on the end of the power wire, but it's been working great since then. The only bad thing about the GPS unit, if you dont have the power adapter, is that the batteries only last about 6 to 8 hours, but it only takes 2 AA batteries, so at least it's inexpensive. Anyway for the money, you cant beat this GPS unit for my use.

Comment: The only problem with this GPS is that waypoint names are limited to six characters
