Average Rating: Rating: - Simple, accurate and cheap ... saved [me] first time out! Just like two out of every five "guys" on the planet, owning a GPS (really cool compass)was a must..."I can't live with-out one". I picked up the "e-trex" vanilla flavored, hiking, biking and trail version. My intent was to use it in my truck, a little added nav equipment for map reading (make long trips less boring). The basic e-trex lacks the memory for real travel logistics(car excursions). A three hour trip ate 98% of it's memory and 70+% of it's battery life. I must add however, my expectations were minimal, given it's price. It calculates your speed better then your speedometer, frightening!!! Make no mistake, you are being tracked!!! As far as bearing, speed, travel time, the basics, this little toy is a treat. It saved [me] when I became lost in the middle of Farmington, CA. not long ago. The sun was down, the ground flat and I... backwards. I remebered the e-trex after about two hours of endless rights and lefts (almost ended up in Yosemite!!!), fired that bad-boy up and was on Highway 99 in 20 minutes, headed home. Paid for itself that night. I highly recommend the basic e-trex as a very basic navigational aide. It does everything it's designed to and does it well. It's also a great "starter" for learning about GPS systems. Note: This thing tracked my rate of speed to the .5 of a mile and was right on target, if you register one with a serial number, use your best friends name!!! Happy trecking... Dave Rating: - Simple & Precise* I bought this as a gift for my husband. He uses it mainly to scout hunting territory in the extreme wilderness of the upstate NY Adirondack Mts. There's not much more that I could add regarding the technical aspects of this unit that haven't already been covered brilliantly by Ben Johnson of Australia in a previous review-- mine is a layman's view. The eTrex GPS is a simple to use, accurate, & rugged piece of equipment that no hunter, hiker, or camper should be without. It's simplicity is what sets it apart from many other GPS units. I know for a fact that if something is too complicated to use it'll just sit in the box forever. After reading the very short & concise user's manual, my husband was outside "backtracking" a walk in the woods behind our house in 15 minutes. He managed to return to a marked point within 10 feet of it's shown location on the eTrex (this after moving miles away from the area & returning the next day). You will not be disappointed with the eTrex. Even if you decide that you must have more "bells & whistles"- start here first to learn the basics. One last thing-- no GPS ever replaces a map & compass- always carry both (a map reading course isn't a bad idea either). Rating: - Best bang for your bucks I have been using GPS for a long time, and had a Garmin 12, then an eTrex and now this Legend. After looking at all other units, including Magellan, The eTrex Legend is the best. The only other choice would be the eTrex Vista, but for the extra money you only get a compass (if you are moving you get it too with the Legend), a barometric altimeter (the Legend has a GPS altimeter, which has an error of around 10 meters) and more memory (24mb instead of 8mb). If you can connect to a computer or Palm device, then the 8 megabytes is enough for 1 or 2 day trips and the neccessary maps.
