Excellent GPS for finding your way back from a hike - See warning on Batteries

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2010

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

After almost getting lost on a night hike I wanted a GPS. I tried to use my Iphone 3GS but it wouldn't pick up the satellites under the trees in the Pacific Northwest forests. Plus, I had it in my pocket and fell on it, luckily I didn't break it.

So, I wanted a waterproof, rugged, easy to use, reliable GPS that worked well under heavy tree cover. I couldn't be happier, this was cheap, and meets all of my requirements. I decided the black and white screen was fine, with backlight, and decided I didn't need all those other bells and whistles the expensive ones have. The lack of bells and whistles makes this easy to use. It has everything you need with tracks, routes, waypoints and track back.

As other's have said if you want to load topo maps this is not the unit for you. But, if you simply want to be able to follow your route back home when hiking this is great! Other's also mentioned it does not come with a cable if you want to hook it up to the computer, but I see no reason to, it works perfect with the version of firmware it ships with and there are no topo maps to load. So, I never plan to hook it to a computer.

The accuracy is amazing even under heavy trees with no view of the sky. With a clear view of the sky I get up to 13 feet of accuracy. In heavy tree cover I average around 50 feet, which is amazing without a view of the sky.

Some people complained in reviews the system took forever to find the satellites. That must be from old firmware versions. I have version 3.30 on my unit and it took maybe two minutes to find the satellites initially if that. After the initial start up out of the box it usually takes around 30 seconds or so. The accuracy is amazing even inside my house.

I HAVE A BIG WARNING ABOUT BATTERIES THOUGH: I had read some people complaining that the unit would shut off after a few hours with freshly recharged AA batteries. This system does not work properly with standard rechargeable batteries. The battery meter shows freshly charged batteries as being only 3/4 full, then the unit shuts after 3-4 hours of use. Luckily the system will save your tracks up until it dies, if you ever need to swap out batteries, just do so and you'll be up and running again, if you catch the fact that it died. Anyways, I used rechargeable batteries and had this problem. When I got home I thought it was a bad batch of rechargeable batteries, so I tried several other ones. I even tried my most powerful, Duracell 2650 mAh batteries with no better luck. So, I put some Costco Kirkland AA regular Alkalines that had been sitting in my house for a year, and tested it. I got 20+ hours of use. I'm going to try the Eneloop rechargeable batteries since their technology is more similiar to Alkalines as far as the device sees it. But, if that doesn't work I'll just stick with Alkalines.

If you want a unit to follow your track so you can find your car, that is easy to use, accurate in a thick forest, water proof, rugged, and with a decent battery life (If using the right batteries), without needing a color screen, topo maps, or computer syncing, get this unit!!

Simple but effective product.

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2011

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

As a military reconnaissance officer I have used this GPS in several training scenarios in various conditions for about two months and the product has surpassed my expectations. While its functions are somewhat limited in contrast to the more advanced models, it is very durable and easy to use. I have used it for a prolonged time in extreme conditions, in the rain, snow and temperatures well below freezing, often strapped to the outside pocket of my vest and this item has not shown any sign of deterioration. It does have an MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) function that is easy to access and can be kept in the continuous operation mode for at least several hours, allowing the user to constantly keep tracking of his position, even in a fast moving vehicle.
Initially, I was slightly disappointed in the quality of a gray two-colored LCD display, but it proved to be a blessing in disguise. Unlike several other models I have used before, the low-level background light was great for night time operations as it was not particularly bright and did not present a gleaming light signature that can be so easily traced even with simple night vision equipment.
The interface gets a little bit of getting used to, but once mastered is both simple and easy to use. My only 'gripe' with the product is that the digital compass on this GPS does not respond particularly quickly. Overall, I found this product reasonably priced, very well suitable for my needs and would recommend it to anyone in the military community.

Meets my expectations

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought this for tracking my distance and average speed in a walking exercise program. Out of the box, it just took a couple minutes to lock onto the satellites.

I walk about 9 miles a day and use rechargeable batteries. I've never had a problem with them running out during a day.

The maximum speed function is usesless. I know I don't walk 7 mph. The average speed seems to be accurate after about 1/8th of a mile. Before that, it tends to read high.

Trackback function works well. For entering a route, an extra cord is needed. Since I don't use that, it's not a problem. Manually entering a route would be a real chore without the cord.

The distance from a point can be off a bit. Probably about 20 feet at times. But for me, that's not an issue.

There is an altimeter which doesn't seem to be in the instructions. If you go to the trip summary screen and change the items displayed, altitude can be one of the options.

It's easy to read in bright sunlight. For low light, the background lighting works well.

A simple GPS for hiking

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2012

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I bought the Garmin eTrex H mainly for hiking. It picks up satellite signals fast, usually in less than 45 seconds in open areas, with ten to eleven satellite signals. The accuracy is about 10 to 15 feet. The backtracking is pretty accurate that provides a safety sense that I would not get lost in the wild. Of course, a compass and a map are needed just in case. The eTrex H is very comfortable in the hand with no rough corners. It has a quality feel. I have no problems with those push buttons as reported by some reviewers. It is simple to use and the screen is easy to read even in bright day light. The only complaint I have is the mannual does not provide sufficient information for basic operation. I have to go to other websites to get some insights for more details. Once you have the know how, it is a breeze to play with. I like this gps for its simplicity and good price.

Great little bit of kit!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2009

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

My family and I have recently taken up 'geocaching' the game where you are the search engine, and to get really serious about it we needed a handheld hikers gps. My friend had one of these and it is a reliable little gadget at a good price so we purchased one too.

To begin with I found it a little complicated to work out, but once I'd got the hang of which button did what, it is straightforward to set up and use. We did not buy the pc connector and it works fine without it, but if you don't want to have the time consuming business of putting in the co-ordinates by hand each time, then I would recommend the connector, so that you can download them.

It records how far you have walked, how fast you are walking and average speed, as well as telling you how far (as the crow flies) your destination is, and how far (at current speed) it will take you to get there. You can input about 20 routes I think - although we have never done this.

I have found the eTrex H to pick up a good signal and be accurate. However it doesn't have a map so if we are walking on roads we always take a street map with us, and if we were going out into the country I would also want an ordnance survey map or similar so that I knew where the paths etc were.

If you are starting out, I would recommend this as a good purchase. I give it 4 stars because it doesn't come with pc connectors and because it doesn't have a map.

All in good value for money!

Garmin etrex h

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2017

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I have been using the garmin etrex h since 2008 and it is still going strong, was looking to update it but reviews of the more modern garmins are not all that good.
Managed to get another etrex h second hand and using this with copies of memory maps is a far better option than using some of the latest gps.
Garmin should reintroduce the etrex h as many people want a simple no frills gps at a reasonable price.

Excellent product.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 30, 2013

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Very sensitive, basic feature set, not quick to lock on to satellites at a new site, but that might be the fault of the GPS system, since the box needs to download the epherides and other data from the satellites once it has located them. I had the previous model for years, this one is even better as it can get a fix inside a wood, whereas the previous model required a clear view of the sky. Of course it would be nice if it were cheaper and smaller, but it is a nice product. I suppose the interface could be a bit easier to use, but they have had to design one built around buttons in a waterproof case, so I guess they have done a good job.

Great Device, Poor package

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2011

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

The device works really well, but the big let down is that it does not come with a computer lead or route planning software, both of which are 'available' separately. I'd say the GPS is pretty well unusable without these extras. (Really Garmin, these should be included!)

Cables are available from Amazon & ebay: I'd recommend getting a USB cable (about £15). For UK users, you can then use the free getamap service from Ordnance Survey to create routes to walk or upload tracks so you can see where you've been!

In the field, the unit is simple to use, with indicated turns within a few feet of accuracy.

As the Amazon price is about £15 less than other sellers, this will mean you can also get the cable and make this a worthwhile purchase.

Brilliant!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2011

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

We bought this so that we could start geocaching and it is excellent. Very sturdy - so that when we drop it, it just bounces and no harm comes to the unit! We have found that the batteries last quite a long time - one change all summer and we have used it quite a bit. The GPS machine is easy to use, the only downside is that the buttons are quite hard to push in so that if you are inputting in more than one waypoint at a time, your fingers will be sore. Otherwise no complaints - thoroughly recommend!
