Big value in a small package August 26, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The eTrex has performed flawlessly for us. Especially useful for geocaching, the ability to upload detailed topology has helped greatly. The layout of the buttons and mini-joystick make using the eTrex easy. Zooming in to 20 feet is a great help, and the large on-screen navigation compass makes it easy to find the target.
 Exellent value August 19, 2007

Very good GPS for Hiking August 16, 2007

I have been using this model for some time, it is very good for hiking and biking, especially in open places, but not comfortable to be used in a car while driving.
For its price, it is a great deal.
 A good, basic GPS July 13, 2007
The built-in basemap is very handy. It makes this model much more useful than the basic eTrex.
This GPS works fine as long as it has a clear view of the sky. Once the built-in antenna is obstructed by *anything* such as a shirt or get mis-oriented by dangling vertically from one's neck, it can easily lose the signal.
The more expensive Legend Color has a better reception system, but you really pay for it.
If you don't mind either holding this flat or placing it properly so as to keep the signal, it is a good unit for a good price. If you have higher expectations for reception, you'll need to spend a couple hundred more to get the better antenna class.
I picked this one because it had a higher resolution screen than the Magellan models of the time.
This is also not the best GPS for driving, as the screen is too small to be read while on the move. It will do OK, but you'll find yourself looking down for too long. It is more suited to hiking and biking, and to keep on hand in the case that you get lost.

This was a gift for my son to start Geocaching. The unit is easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. I found the manual confusing and difficult to follow. Once it sunk in then it was fine.
