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.

much more difficult to program and use than I anticipated. Product description seems erroneous.

This is a first for me. I spent a lot of time researching various Brands and models of hand held GPS. It really comes down to "What am "I" going to use it for. The answer was pretty simple, all I want to do, at this time anyway, is store info so I can get back to a particular spot on a lake or in a woods for fishing and hunting. Also to find my way "back" to my vehicle when out and about. This Garmin E-Trex fills the bill nicely and was quite inexpensive as well. I was pretty much decided on this one when I talked to a guy I work with, and he said he had the older version of this one and was very impressed with it. It is easy to figure out, it starts up a lot faster than the older models, and has enough bells and whistles for me, for now. No buyers remorse or bad surprises so far. As I learn to use it more I might want to upgrade and that's where the price of the E-Trex shines, If I want to upgrade later I'll buy another one with the features I want or need, and still have this one for a back up. Win Win Deal for me! To sum it all up, I find the Garmin E-Trex pretty easy to use. small enough to fit in a pocket or pack, and very affordable. Let's just hope that customer service is as easy to get along with, should the need ever arise. I'm happy to say I got the best price at Amazon.com and had super fast service! I gave 4.5 stars just because I haven't had it long enough or used it enough to find any faults with it yet!

I really love this GPS, it is so easy to use. My 13 year old daughter used it the first night I received it. We use this product to geocache and the accuracy is great! I will definitely recommend this product!

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.
