Summary: A MUST FOR SOLDIERS
Comment: The eTrex is AWESOME!!! I just got out of the Army, and have used the eTrex for the last 3 years. I used to condemn GPSs because soldiers weren�t learning necessary map/compass skills, and the Army�s AN/PSN-11 was so UN-user friendly, it basically takes a doctorate in rocket science to operate effectively! I am an expert navigator with a map & compass and very competent with the AN/PSN-11, but neither is as effective or as easy as the eTrex�my wife even used my GPS and loved it. I bought it before going to the Mojave desert (NTC) to train. I found it to be 100 times easier to use than the Army�s bulky GPS and even more accurate! The AN/PSN-11 costs [a lot], is too big for your pocket, difficult to use, and requires a huge battery you can�t buy off the shelf�the eTrex..., fits in your pocket, a child could operate it, and only takes 2 AA batteries. I have used it to navigate the desert, I have used it to navigate in urban areas, and even used it to set up land navigation courses to train soldiers on both map/compass skills as well as using GPS receivers. I may have gotten out of the Army, but my eTrex is still serving�my soldiers begged me to let them take it to Iraq. I am now purchasing a Garmin Legend, and when my �Joes� bring my eTrex back, I�ll have one for each car!!! THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR SOLDIERS�I just wish the Army would draft it and retire the AN/PSN-11!!!!

Summary: "Keep It Simple Smarty" applies to this!!
Comment: This is a wonderful little unit, compact, light and very easy to use. I have worked with some other GPS units and this one is so simple for the minor simple functions! The unit has the ability to give you time for the time zone you are in, sunrise, sunset and many other functions. I have found this unit to work mainly outside, inside it seems to have troubles picking up the satellites, however if you are using this it is logical to be outdoors. I look forward to getting out on the trails now both hiking and biking, as I can map the trail I take. For someone that wants a simple unit, this is the way to go, as you cant beat the cost. For those that want all the big bells and whistles, keep looking. This unit gives a map of the trail but it is not going to give you every detail of area around you like some of the higher costing units.

Summary: Great Deal
Comment: For the money this is a great GPS. Easy to use and keeps us from getting lost as we cut trails on our wooded acreage. Works well in heavy trees.

Summary: Great for geocaching!
Comment: The Garmin eTrex is a great handheld GPS for those who are looking for an inexpensive solution for geocaching or other needs. Simple and easy to use, this GPS is also accurate to within 3 meters. It also has a hunting and fishing feature which is a useful tool for the hunter and fisherman. As with most GPS's, it takes a little while when it is first started to find the satellites in your area but once it has locked on, then it starts up rather quickly.
