 This is a great unit January 30, 2001
I just recently got this unit over the summer. This thing is great!! The barametric pressure watcher is perfect for camping, hunting, and other outdoor activities. This also shows the elevation profile. This is a neat little tool and most of the people who like the outdoors will love this.
Great little unit! November 29, 2000

I bought the eTrex Summit to use as a bike computer, since I was tired of those obnoxious units that you can buy that require a "pickup" on the wheel of your bike. With the eTrex Summit, I can get a very accurate acccounting of the length of my bike rides, get an idea of the elevation changes I've encountered, max speed, average speed, you name it! If I get bored while riding (not likely!) I can always pull up the track display and watch it drawing the little trail on the display. One hint - be sure to set your eTrex to battery saver mode. I did this and was able to ride all summer on one set of batteries. This is a cool unit and well worth the money.
A small, cute little toy! November 6, 2000

Well, its not really a toy... but who cares? Anyways I first got this becuase it was the cheapest GPS on the market (around $$$). I thougt this product would really be bad because right after I bought it I learned it had no mapping abilites! But then I got it and I have three words: This is cool! Although I use it more as a real GPS for my long haul bike trips, but just a ride around the neighborhood is cool. It is SO light and small and I love the automatic BARO pressure (See, when you're a pilot you have to adjust the altimeter barometer pressure manually - Also note: I don't use this for aviation). But, I don't like how it chews up batteries!
Accurate, fast and small September 4, 2000

I have several GPS for different uses. The most professional one is a Raytheon Chartplotter 630 on my motoryacht. The E-Trex Summit I bought to use for trekking and to mark the GPS location on dive trips with dive operators. They are VERY reluctant to reveal the GPS dive location. I found no difference in accuracy to other GPS. What is completely amazing is the sync time until all satellites are mapped and its ability to work by partly covered satellite horizons. The E-trex Summit syncs in about 15-30 seconds for normal use. The larger units all need 5-15 minutes!!! I have already ordered another one as backup for my boat. Two AA batteries or NiMh cells will run for more than 24 hours. The GPS III+ needs 4-5 times the batteries! The digital compass and barometric pressure/level display are very practical features and very accurate. This is not just a toy.

i was amazed at the accuracy! after i got my unit i discovered that i finally made the right choice. the SUMMIT is the only handheld out of dozens available on the web that had a true electronic compass that will show direction without needing to moving making it ideal for our camping trips.not only i understand how to use it but my 8 year old loves it and i let him venture off a little further than i normally would. another very unique feature is a true barometric pressure altimiter. i am not a big climber yet but this unit will track my progress. i am definatly a happy customer!! d.w.
