Garmin eTrex 20

Nice device with serious flaw – Had mine for a treasured few years. The start button was the first to crack followed by the 'back' button. Not long after both totally dissolved. And I'm not alone. When it works it's great but wears out way too soon. Show details

great little GPS – I purchased the eTrex 20 for hiking, And found it to be quite good, I'm no expert on GPSes but this unit worked well for me when we hiked Thornton Peak, Daintree Queensland the terrain was quite rough and lots of canopies but with this Garmin had no problem staying connected to the GPS and Glonass overhead fast detection light and waterproof.no chance in getting lost. Good idea to take some spare AA batteries CON : screen is a bit small

Handy little unit – I upgraded to the Garmin eTrex 20 after owning both the eTrex H and eTrex Summit HC series GPS handheld units, and I have to say I am very impressed and happy with the unit.

is great for finding hidden camping spots and trails while giving topographic info on the terrain. I recently used this device overseas, and while I didn't have road maps it gave me a good indication where I was and how to get back to my hotel, and killed a bit of time on the plane where I was able to see ground speed, elevation, vertical speed etc.(I've been assured this was legal as it only receives signals and doesn't interfere with aviation electronics). The unit also allows for downloading of high-res satellite imagery (Garmin Birdseye Satellite Imagery subscription required) to your unit via PC. Highly recommended unit, but if you're serious about hiking in the wilderness then you might want to look at the more expensive units like the Montana or Oregon range. small, lightweight, compact, much easier to use than the old eTrex units. Multiple user profiles for different applications. Good technical support No Barometic Altimeter. Sucks battery life when backlight is on. Can't be used in car with USB adapter.
