 No mapping capability at all... July 28, 2005
10 out of 19 found this review helpful
Just keep in mind that if you buy this product, you will not have the capability to load any Mapsource data, or any map data at all. The unit does not come with even a rudimentary database, and although there is an optional (and riduculously overpriced) PC interface cable, you won't be able to upload anyting into the GPS unit. No street maps, no topo maps,... nada. Other comparably priced units have this capability, which seems to me to be absolutely essential if you actually want to use a GPS unit to be able to navigate, which, let's face it, is the only reason that you would buy one.

I use it when I go sking, so I see how fast I can go, I use it for biking, so I can tell how far I have gone. I can be in the middle of my two story house and still get a signal (It takes about 10 minutes though) Outside it will pick up a signal in under 30secconds. Its Great! Pro-Easy to use
-Lots of info
-Can be used for rec/work
-Very accurate Con-Sucks up batteries fast
 Great GPS, less accurate than I would like January 31, 2003

This GPS is a great help for any kind of GPS work you would need to do that didn't require you to be any closer than about 20 feet. Within 20 feet is is inprecise.I've found that the altimeter needs regular calibration to be accurate as well. Too bad it doesn't come standard with an A/C adapter. You'd think with all the money you're paying the least you would get is an A/C adapter!
Altitude profile doesn't download January 11, 2003

I've checked this GPS out in the toughest test and I guess you get what you pay for, this model can display the profile for up to 25 miles on the screen , but when you download the data the profile is very hard to re create on the PC, I've tried using several kinds of download software and then Harvard Graphics or excel , with the same result, a horizontal scale problem.Every check I have made on its accuracy shows no problem , just this end of the line processing, perhaps I'm the only user trying to print off the profile
can't ask for better December 30, 2002

I am an avid hunter,before buyyng my gps a did an extencyve search for the best suited one for my needs.there is no question
that the eTrex Summit has all I ask.the electronic compass is the
most important future.When I hunt I always go deep in the forest.
I used to have some terrible lost instances,I tell you getting lost in deep forest is no joke at all.now with my summit in my pocket I am the kyng of forests.the poiter page future is also extra advantage the summit has.Any hunter or camper should own one for hys or her securytyy.
