Garmin eTrex H GPS - 2008

Grab the Garmin eTrex H GPS if you want a basic GPS without having to drop an entire paycheck on a unit that does everything short of making your morning espresso. Get a signal under thick forest canopies with The eTrex H GPS's high-sensitivity receiver, and operate one-handed with the five-button design. Two AA batteries power the unit for up to 17 hours, and the internal memory holds 500 waypoints, so you can easily return to that campsite with the epic view.

Bottom Line: The eTrex is a streamlined GPS for the budget adventurer.

Great basic GPS

By:
May 31, 2009

This has all the basic features you would want. Does what most other GPS units do, without bells and whistles. I bought it 7yrs ago prior to deploying overseas so I could have a GPS in my pocket at all times. It rode in a cargo pocket for 8mos on countless patrols. I still use it occasionally while hiking as backup to map and compass (hmmm analog navigation in a digital world). Battery life is as described.

I don't know exactly what percentage of the earth is covered by the GPS sattelites, but I would imagine it's fairly vast--if not 100%. All you need is line of sight from your unit to the satellite. While some GPS units are better than others at picking up a signal, the specific Garmin model you use won't change your coverage eligibility.

Stood the test of time...

By:
May 4, 2009

I've had my eTrex for close to 6 or 7 years now and I know it has nothing on the current tech out there but it has always worked well for me and gotten the job done. It's been through hell but it still works perfectly. It's been submerged, frozen, in 125+ degree deserts and so on but still boots right up and finds a signal.

We are looking at the Germin E Trek H for our kiyaking adventures.

We are looking at the Germin E Trek H for our kiyaking adventures. We want to map out our routes on Google Earth and get Long. / Lat. points for camping on rivers. Will this unit allow us to store the camp points and pull out points so that we can find out how much further we have to row to next site.

Yes, it'll be great for that. I have this unit myself and that's almost exactly what we use it for (except hiking instead of boating).
