Summary: cool e-tool
Comment: First part of previous post is inaccurate. The-trex DOES have a speedometer, a compas (based on GPS, you mst be moving for it to work) a waypoint input method (record them as you go or download into the device from a PC and one of many map/topo programs).

I do agree with the rest of these posts.

The combination of this product and the TOPO map program is a real winner. I can download my trips into the PC and get plots and elevation profiles. I can also upload waypoints and routes. I have replaced my bike computer with this thing. It provides current speed, average speed, max speed, elevation, heading, bearing, time of trip, and distance travled.

Summary: This is a GREAT entry level GPS
Comment: This GPS represents perhaps the greatest value in Handheld units out there. It is super easy to use, based on a menu system which is virtually fool proof. There are only a limited number of features, which make it cleaner and simpler to use, but if you are looking for lots of bells and whistles, look elsewhere.
I own one of these, and use it as a backup unit for my main GPS on my sailboat, and also take it along while I am biking and hiking. It is rugged, waterproof, and lasts about 16 hours or so with normal use on a pair of decent AA batteries. A must- have toy!

Summary: Garmin eTrex GPS Review
Comment: I love this product and would highly recommend it. The eTrex is the most affordable Garmin GPS, but still provides everything I need (it just doens't have the maps that the more expensive ones have - but usually there are no maps when you are hiking anyhow).

I have used the eTrex in Scotland when hill walking. It has picked up satellites 95+% of the time and has been an invaluable tool for helping me find my way back when I get off track. I would highly recommend. Besides being useful as a bread crumb trail and for marking waypoints, it is also fun to see the summary statistics for each walk -- total miles, avg. speed, elevation, etc. etc.

I also used the eTrex in Southern, Illinois, where there is thick tree cover. I picked up satellites about 75% of the time. This was still good enough to get my group back to our car when we got off the beaten path.

Summary: Very practical
Comment: This doesn't have many bells and whistles. But if you can get a lattitude and longitude for what you want to find, it will take you to within 50' or so of it. If you want to know where you were (within about 50'), it will do the trick. I am a land surveyor, and have used this in the woods a lot to get in the neighborhood of something I'm looking for. Tough, simple receiver.
