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.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I'm glad I bought it.
Very accurate.
Easy to use.
Affordable.
Amazing little device.
I'm not talking to Professional Land Surveyors and Airliner Pilots here.
Or over-the-road long-haul trans-continental tractor-trailer drivers.
I'm talking to little people like me.
Who just want to know exactly where they are.
And where other points are.
When it tells you your elevation- (I think it calls it altitude)-
you will be amazed at how close it comes.
The farthest ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cant beat it for the price.
I was looking for a GPS for hiking with waypoints then got into Geocaching. I wasnt sure what to expect when I first got this GPS unit because at the time it was all I could afford. It surpassed my expectations. Of course it doesn't have all the whistles and bells other models have, but for the price in my opinion there is none better. It seems I always have a signal, even sometimes when I am inside. And if you want to Geocache, it nails the coordinates most of the time. If you do not have a lot of ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - no cd included & too hard to figure out
i think would be a good product but the written instructions are so difficult to figure out. there is a cd that usually comes with the garmin, either this retailer didnt provide it or this model doesnt have it. too hard to figure out so now i have to buy the cd.




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Good For a Beginner
I just recently purchased this garmin etrex gps device and it has been very helpful and fairly accurate in finding specific locations. I use it for hiking and geocaching and have done well with it so far. The batteries in mine lasted quite a long time before I had to replace them for 1st time. The only hang up I have with it, is that dense tree coverage can interfere with the signal. It is my first gps and I am still learning about it but it has been very helpful.




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great device
Garmin E trex H is a great little gps devise, I dont know much about geocaching or anything like that but I am in the military and need to know where I am and how to get to others during operations. At first I was sceptical because nowhere on any other reviews did it say it gave MGRS (Military Grid Reference) which is how us U.S. miltary navigate, but I gave it a shot because most garmin products come with MGRS.

The size is excellent can fit anywhere in my gear and works great under cloud ... Read More
