eTrex
Find Fun
eTrex supports geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. eTrex stores and displays key information, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and paper printouts.
Keep Your Fix
With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, eTrex locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.
Go Global
The eTrex series is the first-ever consumer-grade receivers that can track both GPS and GLONASS satellites simultaneously. When using GLONASS satellites, a system developed by the Russian Federation, the time it takes for the receiver to 'lock on' to a position is (on average) approximately 20 percent faster than using GPS.
Plan Your Next Trip
- Take charge of your next adventure with BaseCamp, software that lets you view and organize maps, waypoints, routes, and tracks
- This free trip-planning software even allows you to create Garmin Adventures that you can share with friends, family or fellow explorers.
- BaseCamp displays topographic map data in 2-D or 3-D on your computer screen, including contour lines and elevation profiles. It also can transfer an unlimited amount of satellite images to your device when paired with a BirdsEye Satellite Imagery subscription.

Anyway, after almost four years of extensive use and the occasional drop, my eTrex 10 is still getting the job done really well. The display is old-style plain, not for everyone, but this translates into superb battery life. I can run it all day on a fresh pair of rechargeable AA's without any fear of data loss.
The accuracy of handheld GPS units is hard to pin down--smoke and mirrors, but this one certainly does the job for road logs and hiking records. Sensitivity is excellent and it doesn't take long to find satellites.
Downloading tracks is easy and dependable, something I can't say for my old Garmin Forerunner 305 wrist GPS. When connected to a USB port, the eTrex 10's track and waypoint data appear in a virtual drive folder, for easy copy or upload to GPS software.
All I want from a GPS device is reliable information on where I am and where I've been, for I depend on mapping software to deliver actual graphics. Users who want better mapping support from the unit itself would find the eTrex graphics too limited. Also, I don't go after geocaches and can't evaluate the unit for that. But the eTrex 10 is just fine for locating myself in trackless woods, for providing a work record of where I've been, and for keeping track of my auto travel details.
I did have one tense moment when, for failture of housekeeping, the track memory became so full that there didn't seem to be enough left to run the track deletion sequence. Can't remember how I got around that; maybe by starting with the smallest tracks. Didn't want to do a complete reset because there was some information I had not downloaded.

For the geography buffs, you can also change the map datum to whatever format you need, including the standard WGS84, NAD83, and GRS80, as well as change the coordinate system to most conceivable combinations of degrees, minutes, and seconds, as well as decimals of degrees or minutes. You can also save plenty of waypoints to save your favorite locations (or find your way back to your car).
The biggest caveat is the miniscule 8 megabytes of internal memory compared to other GPS receivers that sport several gigabytes of storage. However, you can download and convert OpenStreetMap portions to put your local area into the device before going on a trip to get access to street and trail maps, which are very handy when you don't want to fiddle with a paper map. (There's no topography, though.)
However, as mentioned at the start, I use this device to geotag photos taken with my camera, and it generates standard GPX files, which can be saved on the device to split up your current trek as you please. As long as you keep your camera's clock in sync with the clock on this receiver (be careful if using near daylight-saving time transitions), it will work with software like GeoSetter, Lightroom, and Picasa, and it works with any digital camera that stores the date and time the photo was taken.
Overall this is your bare bones GPS and even on a super cloudy day like today I was getting an accuracy of 5 feet surrounded by buildings, trees, and a ton of clouds.
my main gripes with this is, again, limited memory storage (at least allow microsd card come on) and doesn't come with a small travel case and not even a lanyard (really? you couldn't pony up 25 cents for a lanyard garmin?)
but despite missing the bells and whistles I have to say the accuracy and reception on this thing is freaking awesome, I will soon go out on a big hiking trip to test this even further.
Top reviews from other countries
very rugged and compact and light. A good basic waypoint navigation tool that can be used all over the UK mainly for me. Used for nearly a year on and off and has not let me down yet. If you want something like Google maps... this is not for you. But for a cheaper simple Waypoint Nav device. This is it.
Desde mi punto de vista es el único equipo que necesito para explorar en conjunto con un mapa impreso y una brujula.
Existen modelos mas avanzados de GARMIN que incorporan brújula digital, pantalla a color, mapas topográficos integrados, barómetro, sin embargo considero son mera vanidad ya que muchos de ellos no son 100% útiles en campo dado que existen limitaciones como:
Pantalla a color: Consume la batería mas rápidamente.
Brújula digital: Consume batería mas rápidamente, no te permite apuntar con precision a tu destino como lo harías con una buena brujula con espejo y no te permite ver a través del mapa para alienar tu mapa como lo harías con la brujula de placa.
Barómetro: Consume batería rápidamente, muy difícilmente vas a saber tu altitud mediante el barómetro si no lo calibras en base a una altitud de referencia conocida que obviamente te lo dará un mapa impreso, para predecir el clima tendrías que estar cuidando el gps cuando de señales de cambio de presión para poder ver si hay mal tiempo próximo, lo cual implica encender el equipo y gastar mas bateria.
Mapas topográficos: No es lo mismo ver un mapa en grande donde puedes ver en una sola hoja varias referencias como las montañas, en el gps sera muy difícil ver el TODO en una pantalla tan pequeña, no podrás trazar tu ruta sobre los mapas digitales tan fácilmente a menos que sea touch.
En resumen: Es el equipo ideal que tendrías que tener para uso en emergencias o cuando necesites confirmar tu ubicación, y por tanto no sustituye al uso de brujula y mapa, si no todo lo contrario, los complementan. En amazon puedes encontrarte unas buenas brújulas Suunto y Brunton a buen precio, te recomiendo uses brujula con espejo y los mapas son gratuitos en el portal del INEGI del gobierno.
Su precisión es muy buena en comparación a la de un GPS de un iPhone, este último batalla mucho cuando recorres bosques densos, cosa que con el garmin no se aprecia tanto.
La capacidad de ubicar (HotFix) rápidamente tu ubicación es agradecida cuando recorres cañones, barrancas o bosques densos, ya que permite mantenerte en el rumbo preciso.
Puedes conectarlo a plataforma de gestión de datos propia de GARMIN mediante cable USB o hacer uso de plataformas como Wikiloc para poder bajar y subir rutas a tu GPS (Ojo con aquellas tomadas con teléfonos).
My only major complaint is the instruction manual, it sucks big time. I give it 1 star for manual. I would say it’s impossible for a first time user to learns anything useful about the gps, Garmin sure has gone downhill when it comes to instruction manuals. Thanks to the Internet, there is a useful solution for this. YouTube contains all kind of useful instruction video for this model, enough to get you going out and use it with confidence.
A major complaint I have seen in the reviews is “battery life”, most people find it is too short on two AA batteries. All my older models (3) took 4 AA and the battery life wasn’t that much longer than this unit. The big difference 2 batteries make is the size of the unit. Take my older model Garmin 12XL. Used 4 batteries and the unit was at 30% bigger but the screen is only about 5% bigger. I used to change my batteries every day before heading into the bush. I recommend you also order from Amazon a pack of ENELOOP batteries made by Panasonic. You get 4 rechargeable batteries that contains 2100 mah (stored power). 2 batteries runs the unit for a solid 24 hours,(first thing I tested), you bring the other two for spares. Never leave home without spare batteries regardless the type you use.
No downloadable maps is another complaint I read often, if you want topo maps on your gps, do not order this unit, go for the etrex 20.
I did see some videos on YouTube that shows how to download some maps on the unit but I found the quality of the maps were not worth it. I always carry a good quality map and a compass with me, gps or not. Much easier to plot a course with a map and compass then load the coordinates on the gps. I used to hunt in deep bush far from civilizations in northern Canada with gps, map and compass and I can say I have never got lost and have always made it out of the bush. Hope the review helps you.
