Garmin eTrex 10 Outdoor Handheld GPS Unit, Black/Yellow

Product Information

Out for a lovely evening walk, putting the Garmin eTrex 10 through its paces, the basics of GPS navigation.

This time it is a very different walk and talk as you join me as I head out on a 62 mile walk along the Northumberland Coast Path with a Garmin GPSMAP 67 to navigate with and a Zoleo two-way satellite communicator to communicate with. Some hikers will have a use for this feature. I don’t. I have never used the sunrise/sunset function, but I’m sure some people will find it handy. Man OverboardImproved ability to clear unit settings on power up: now only requires menu key and enter key to be held when powering the unit on After planning the route on my computer I show you how to transfer it onto your Garmin Fenix watch using the Connect app on a mobile phone. An introduction to the walk and talk with the Motorola Defy Satellite Link and the key features, as described by Antony, from the Bullitt Group - 00:00 Another thought is that it depends what you want out of a GPS. If you want to leave the map in the bag and just ride, then it will do that. It depends on how big the route and how much extra navigation you need to do if you modify your route.

Sadly it was a wet and windy day, but what better conditions to put this top end buttoned GPS unit through it's paces.I first import a .gpx file and then edit it into a day section before transferring it onto the Garmin GPSMAP 66s. As an entry level model, it’s easy to outstrip the Garmin eTrex 10 GPS – its eTrex siblings feature colour screens, more storage and helpful additions like an altimeter, in the case of the Garmin eTrex 32x. Equally, for more professional-level users the Garmin GPSMAP 65 range offers serious firepower for only a little more bulk. However, bear in mind that you’re more than doubling and then trebling the price of the little Garmin eTrex 10 to step up to those two examples respectively, so very much a case of horses for courses.
