Handhelds - Touchscreen. My other units have survived several bumps and scrapes, but the first time I dropped the Garmin Vista HCx, the screen cracked. RainBuzz October 14, RainBuzz review Hello All this is my unbias review of this unit. I know what readers want to see, a unbiased thorough report. Lets face it, the ". I'll tell you the good, the bad and what is acceptable. Good Small - fits in the palm of your hand, even a female can easily grasp this device without fear of dropping it. Ergonomics - its a one handed device.

Unlike many other GPSs that require two hands, or is unsecure with just one handed operation, the Etrex is designed for one handed, comfortable and secure operation. Battery - I am still on my first batteries. So far about 20 hours and it still shows as full on the battery indicator, which is only a resolution of 3 bars. So it means I am still within the first third of the battery. Keep in mind though, I am using lithium batteries, which lasts 5x longer then alkalines.

And the voltage is fairly steady until it finally dies. Waterproof - I worked under water and in the rain. Of course it was only a few inches deep and only for a few minutes. I don't want to test expensive imported electronics upto the point where it breaks. I am not rich. It uses standard AA batteries. Which also means you can buy recharable batteries and use them also. Fairly fast - UCB bus does a descent job of transfering, but it crashes on trasnfering large files, such as large map files.

Color screen - the colors and resolution is accepable. Not great, but it gets the job done. Great part!!! It can create routes on street maps Navigator.

Memory - It has no built in memory, but a microsd fits into the battery compartment. I tested it with a 2 GIG. Upload or insert images from URL. All Activity Home Geocaching and Followers 0.

Still "iffy" about this one Excellent hand-held GPS receiver. I bought this due to the fact that it is portable, waterproof, has a barometer and is easy to use for Geocaching, and also comes with accessories that make it easy to transfer to my boat and my car.

This a great little do-it-all unit. The only downside is that it has a small screen that is not the most ideal for travelling via automobile. However, I knew this limitation before I bought it and for my purposes, this is an acceptable tradeoff.

If you are serious about buying a unit for your car, then I recommend that you get a large screen GPSR that is specially made for use in a car. This one works fine in a car for light use, just not recommended for large metro areas as you have to pan the map and do not have turn by turn directions. Skip to main content. About this product.
