Amazon.com Product Description
Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts on a budget, the Garmin eTrex H GPS navigator helps you navigate your way through the toughest terrain. The unit is equipped with a high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, which locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear: whether you're traipsing through thick woods or strolling near tall buildings and trees, you can count on the eTrex H to help you find your way when you need it the most. And just like the original eTrex, this little yellow wonder is intuitive and rugged, with a lightweight housing that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The eTrex H is a breeze to use, with five buttons on either side of the navigator facilitating one-handed operation. The four-level gray LCD display, meanwhile, is easy to read in a shade or daylight. And you needn't fret should the weather turn, as the eTrex H is IPX7 waterproof, so it can withstand an accidental splash or dunk in the water and still continue to perform. Functionally, the navigator stores up to 500 waypoints in its memory for easy retrieval, with names and graphic symbols to highlight the selections. Users will also appreciate Garmin's exclusive TrackBack feature, which lets you reverse your track (up to 20 reversible routes) and navigate back to your starting point. And the automatic track log offers 10 saved tracks (with 10,000 points), along with the ability to retrace your path in both directions. Other details include a hunting and fishing calculator, sun and moon information, and a serial PC interface. The eTrex H, which runs for up to 17 hours on a pair of AA batteries (not included), measures 2.0 by 4.4 by 1.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box

 OK GPS for the price February 23, 2010
digipicdoc (OH)
I owned (and lost) an earlier Garmin E-trex so knew what to expect. First trip with this one the "enter" button became very very difficult to push, to the point where I needed to use a blunt implement to push it (no amount of finger pressure would work - finger pads too soft). This is also the button used for waypointing, so simply had to follow "tracks" back because waypointing became too difficult. No built in maps. No ability to move around the screen - can only zoom in or out. Without buying an additional cable to connect to a computer, I don't think one can enter routes (eg, put in serial UTM coordinates) in advance. Does tell you distance traveled, average speed, give you current location (choice of formats including UTM). Not a compass - have to be moving for it to give direction. Others complained about batteries. I used older NiMH rechargeables and got in 4 hr hikes with no sweat. Duracell NiMH's I think should give excellent function on longer excursions - *always* take plenty of spare batteries if you are depending on the Trex. Did what I needed - tracks diverged when I was getting "lost" on return trips, which is what I needed. Is *not* set to the most accurate WAAS positioning by default - I'd suggest changing to most sensitive/accurate settings if small deviations in your route could get you way off course quickly.
 Just what I wanted February 15, 2010
JAMES MCCUSKEY (California)
I wanted a basic GPS, so I could find my position quickly and accurately when hiking. I wasn't interested in lots of bells and whistles. I wasn't looking for a car navigation system, and didn't need downloadable maps, or a built in compass.
This units works great, and seems to be very durable, though I haven't been rough with it. It generally takes much less than a minute to get the location within 20 feet. For the price, I don't think you can beat it.
I love it! Can't beat it for the price. February 10, 2010

This little unit does everything you want a GPS to do without all the bloat. It is simple to use, and a joy to own.
Sensible downgrade February 7, 2010
James Ryo Kiyan (Sullivan County, New York)
Like many folks these days, I've run into difficult financial times, and was dreading have to replace my eight-year-old Garmin eTrex Vista. Based on knowledgeable-sounding customer reviews I decided to take a chance on a "downgrade" to this model, and so far believe I made the right choice. I was a little apprehensive when I first saw the primitive-looking graphics, but that's just cosmetic, and it's really got everything I need. I mainly do backcountry day hikes in conjunction with mapping software such as TOPO! and Terrain Navigator. The lack of an internal magnetic compass was my biggest worry but, just like they said, as soon as you take a few paces (and sometimes even if you don't) it knows which direction you're going, and the navigation page (with the compass graphic) behaves just like the one on the Vista. (I held them side-by-side through the whole test run.) If you really need accuracy--say for projecting waypoints--bring along a compass. (Technically, you should always have a compass, anyway, as backup.) It lacks a barometric altimeter, but if you're using maps, you should probably know the altitude already--and it does have a GPS altimeter, for what that's worth (topic for another post). The map page is blank except for what you put in it--i.e., no base map with major roads on it, which is no big deal. The serial port cable that came with the Vista works with this model, as does my aged mapping software (TOPO! and Terrain Navigator, both eight years old).
ETrex Review February 3, 2010
Ronald Gambone (Dunnellon, Fla USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The etrex is a good garmin gps. I use it for geocaching. It is lightweight and I found to be very accurate. The only draw back was that it needed a special cord to plug into the computer so that the computer could directly download coordinates into the etrex. Also, another drawback is that some of the coordinates are 7 digits and the etrex only allows for 6 digits. But, this has not caused me any problems.
