User Review: 4 out of 5 stars - Garmin GPS
The Garmin system is not as good as the Intelinav because you do not have as much notice for junctions (They give you a count down) and often no instruction at all if you are proceeding straight ahead



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - etrex
Not only was this product packaged as advertised. It was delivered promptly and what a great product. When I hunt I go into very rough terrain and I go way in where most other hunters would never go. My new etrex always brings me right back to my truck or location I desire. Easy to use would be my thoughts and all outdoors people should have one.



User Review: 4 out of 5 stars - Garmin eTrex
I purchased a refurbished model of the Garmin eTrex Handheld. I received it within the stated shipping period and in excellent condition. Upon opening the package, I thought there may have been a mistake. The shipped unit looked brand new. No blemishes or scratches anywhere.
Works and tested flawlessly when tested next to my Cuda 250. I purchased the handheld to be a backup for when I used a different kayak or travel to another island.
It took a bit of fumbling around to figure out all of the nuances. Although the manual was included..... who reads the manual anyway? :)

A recommended product if you want a backup or want an entry level handheld gps. No bells or whistles needed, unless you're into that sort of stuff.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Best chice for me
Ive been using this in my small boat, and it has been excellent. I usually pop it into a ziplock baggy though, because my boat takes in a of water on windy days. I've flooded them in past by taking them diving, so find a waterproof phone case or something robust, then you can tuck it into your wetsuit if you like. Helps me find reefs while spearfishing.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for geocaching!
The Garmin eTrex is a great handheld GPS for those who are looking for an inexpensive solution for geocaching or other needs. Simple and easy to use, this GPS is also accurate to within 3 meters. It also has a hunting and fishing feature which is a useful tool for the hunter and fisherman. As with most GPS's, it takes a little while when it is first started to find the satellites in your area but once it has locked on, then it starts up rather quickly.
