Product Description A few years ago, when personal GPSs first became available, every geek from here to Poughkeepsie was enthralled about the possibility of always knowing exactly where on the planet he or she was. While the Garmin eTrex isn't the most feature-rich GPS out there, it will definitely come in handy if you don't want your next camping trip to end up like a scene from Customer Reviews Great fun and a great value!! I purchased this unit to try "Geocaching." It was recommended on the geocaching.com website as an inexpensive, entry-level unit. It has fulfilled and exceeded my expectations. It has a very short "learning curve." It took me less than 30 min. to initialize the unit, learn how to input a waypoint, and start a "GOTO." ( This is the method used to find a location according to GPS coordinates.) Within an hour of opening the package, I found my first Geocache!!I highly recommend this unit to anyone who wants basic GPS capability without all the frills. Garmin E Trex GPS My husband already had one of these, but says this one is much better and actually does alot more than his older one...FIVE stars in his book! The handy little yellow thing - excellent entry level GPS Before you lose the patience to read through the rest of the stuff, I would strongly suggest that you get yourself a PC interface cable and download free GPS software from www.easygps.com or pay for one at www.expertgps.com (with additional features) With so many GPS in the market, it is confusing which one to buy, unless you are clear about what your needs are. I jotted down a few points as to why would I really need a GPS: (1) Never to lose my bearings on hikes (2) Keep track of where I went and share this data to others (3) Keep track of altitude (4) Get to know of sunset and sunrise times so that I known when to get back to Camp and when to start the next day (5) Speed at which I walk and estimate the amount of time I would take to reach my destination etrex satisfies all of this. What is that I do not like about the etrex (1) Altimeters are not accurate (in any GPS), so get a barometric altimeter in addition to a GPS (2) Something miserably wrong with Sunset and sunrise timings. My GPS shows sunrise time as 18:51 and Sunset ast 06:30 (???) and it is inaccurate even if you transpost it. Etrex loses a * for this (3) Useless in heavy tree cover (in any GPS) (4) Battery life could have been better Despite all that, I am very happy with my etrex, it cost me exactly $100, meets almost all the features that I am looking for. Many of my friends ask me this question - Are you sure that this GPS works in India ? Ofcourse, it does, it is a GLOBAL positioning system ! I have used it in US, Canada, Singapore and Korea and works everywhere, even in the forests in western ghats in India.
