Would not recommend the etrex-H. When received my first etrex-H took 6 attempts to acquire a navigable signal. On each attempt the etrex-H shut itself off. On two hikes the etrex-H shut itself off in less than 4 hours (new batteries each hike) making the backtrack feature worthless. I reported both problems to Garmin via email. I encountered great difficulty with Garmin online customer support; no response to email, and fax "not received by Garmin" yet I have documented proof of successful fax receipt. Garmin online eventually contacted me, and with proof of purchase, authorized return of my etrex-H within warranty for repair etc. (My shipping expense $13.00+)
Garmin ultimately replaced the unit (2 weeks) with no explanation of what was wrong with the original. The new unit took a few minutes to acquire a navigable sigal on first startup (no shutdown). But, the replacement etrex-H has different problems. It shows elevation as -11' (below sea level) on the street in front of my house. I do not have oceanfront property, nor am I snorkeling with the etrex-H. I have not tested the new unit on the trail to see if it also shuts itself off while hiking.
The etrex-H could be an excellent GPS to support hikers using contoured trail maps... if it worked reliably. So far, I don't get that warm and fuzzy feeling with the etrex-H. I'd like to lower my rating to 2 stars but I haven't found where Amazon allows me to do that.
