Amazon.com Product Description
Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts on a budget, the Garmin eTrex H GPS navigator helps you navigate your way through the toughest terrain. The unit is equipped with a high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, which locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear: whether you're traipsing through thick woods or strolling near tall buildings and trees, you can count on the eTrex H to help you find your way when you need it the most. And just like the original eTrex, this little yellow wonder is intuitive and rugged, with a lightweight housing that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The eTrex H is a breeze to use, with five buttons on either side of the navigator facilitating one-handed operation. The four-level gray LCD display, meanwhile, is easy to read in a shade or daylight. And you needn't fret should the weather turn, as the eTrex H is IPX7 waterproof, so it can withstand an accidental splash or dunk in the water and still continue to perform. Functionally, the navigator stores up to 500 waypoints in its memory for easy retrieval, with names and graphic symbols to highlight the selections. Users will also appreciate Garmin's exclusive TrackBack feature, which lets you reverse your track (up to 20 reversible routes) and navigate back to your starting point. And the automatic track log offers 10 saved tracks (with 10,000 points), along with the ability to retrace your path in both directions. Other details include a hunting and fishing calculator, sun and moon information, and a serial PC interface. The eTrex H, which runs for up to 17 hours on a pair of AA batteries (not included), measures 2.0 by 4.4 by 1.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box

 Garbage March 14, 2010
Eric G. Wilkinson (Eugene, OR United States)
The Enter key on this unit was nonfunctional right out of the box. The only thing I was able to test on this receiver was its accuracy with known locations, such as "home". Outdoor clear line of sight accuracy ranged from 12 to 16 meters, which is well outside of the accuracy listed in the product specifications. Indoor accuracy ranged from 15 to 90 meters, which is pretty typical in my experience. Returned this item to Amazon.
Everything I needed and not a thing more. March 12, 2010
A. Express (Naples Florida)
As a kayak/angler, this very very affordable Garmin eTrex hand held GPS is terrific. A good waterproof map and the eTrex provide me with all I need to navigate through the 10,000 Islands and inshore waters of Southwest Florida without getting hopelessly lost. It allows me to enter and store my "way-points" and "routes" on my outgoing trips and follow them home on my return. All the other great features offered on similar GPS units would have come at additional expense without really being needed. I consider the long long battery life an added bonus. The numerous positive Amazon reviews helped me make this very "right" buying decision. Unfortunately,to my knowledge, a suction-cup type mounting plate/holder for horizontal surfaces is not available for this unit, so the term "hand-held" really means "hand held". This is a little cumbersome when you are paddling, especially when you wish to view your direction of travel by using the compass feature. All in all, a great unit. Thanks, Ron in Naples, FL.
 OK GPS for the price February 23, 2010

I owned (and lost) an earlier Garmin E-trex so knew what to expect. First trip with this one the "enter" button became very very difficult to push, to the point where I needed to use a blunt implement to push it (no amount of finger pressure would work - finger pads too soft). This is also the button used for waypointing, so simply had to follow "tracks" back because waypointing became too difficult. No built in maps. No ability to move around the screen - can only zoom in or out. Without buying an additional cable to connect to a computer, I don't think one can enter routes (eg, put in serial UTM coordinates) in advance. Does tell you distance traveled, average speed, give you current location (choice of formats including UTM). Not a compass - have to be moving for it to give direction. Others complained about batteries. I used older NiMH rechargeables and got in 4 hr hikes with no sweat. Duracell NiMH's I think should give excellent function on longer excursions - *always* take plenty of spare batteries if you are depending on the Trex. Did what I needed - tracks diverged when I was getting "lost" on return trips, which is what I needed. Is *not* set to the most accurate WAAS positioning by default - I'd suggest changing to most sensitive/accurate settings if small deviations in your route could get you way off course quickly.
 Just what I wanted February 15, 2010
JAMES MCCUSKEY (California)
I wanted a basic GPS, so I could find my position quickly and accurately when hiking. I wasn't interested in lots of bells and whistles. I wasn't looking for a car navigation system, and didn't need downloadable maps, or a built in compass.
This units works great, and seems to be very durable, though I haven't been rough with it. It generally takes much less than a minute to get the location within 20 feet. For the price, I don't think you can beat it.
I love it! Can't beat it for the price. February 10, 2010

This little unit does everything you want a GPS to do without all the bloat. It is simple to use, and a joy to own.
