Editorial Review: Product Description: Average Rating:
 Rating:  - FantasticA great basic GPS unit, the main feature is the fact its so good at picking up satellites. This new H version is more sensative than the older model.

I've used quite a few different GPS, and this is the only one that maintains a lock in my trouser pocket, when I'm in a cutting in the forest. Cold- and warm-start satellite acquisition is quick, and hot-start is essentially instant. I never let my GPS completely run out of juice, but the stated 17h battery life seems about right. I use GPS as a backup to traditional navigation, ...

Be aware that to use the eTrex with a computer to upload and download the GPS data you will need to purchase 2 other bits of kit, both of which are available from Amazon. The serial connector (£20) that attaches the eTrex to... well nothing, because serial ports were only used up until the end of the last century, so you will also have to buy a serial to USB connector ...
