My First Impressions of the Garmin eTrex 10 I finally have my Garmin eTrex 10! I was looking for a simple, reliable GPS that wouldn't break the bank, and I think this is exactly what I need for my hikes and outdoor trips. The first thing I loved is how small and rugged it feels. It has that bright yellow color that makes it hard to lose sight of, and it definitely looks shockproof and waterproof (a big bonus, because I'm a bit clumsy!). It's very light and fits perfectly in my hand or any pocket, which is ideal for avoiding extra weight. One of the reasons I chose this model is its incredible battery life. It uses regular AA batteries, and I've read they last about 25 hours. That's a lot! I don't have to worry about it dying on me in the middle of a long route. It's a super basic GPS, and that's exactly what I want. It doesn't have detailed color maps, just a monochrome screen, but that's fine because it makes the battery last longer and the display is very clear, even in bright sunlight. Honestly, I only need it to mark waypoints, save my tracks, and for geocaching. For that, it works wonderfully, and the satellite reception (GPS and GLONASS) is fast and accurate. What I like the most: • The durability: It feels practically indestructible. • The battery: Forget about charging it for a long time! • The simplicity: I can do what I need without complications. • The price: You don't have to spend a fortune for a reliable GPS. The only thing I have to get used to: • The monochrome screen and navigating the menus is a bit old-school, but it's not a serious issue, just a matter of practice with that little joystick. In short, the eTrex 10 is an excellent backup companion or the perfect GPS if you're like me and only want the essential functions to navigate accurately without distractions.

My husband had one of these quite a while ago. Being a keen runner and hiker we found this to be very helpful with navigating. As well as the Denice itself being a good size and not too bulky we also found battery life on this was great. The display was easy to use and very user friendly.

As my usual experience with this brand, it is superb!! The GPS works amazingly well and the device is easy to hold and store inside pocket or on a bicycle bar mount for bicycle rides. Highly recommend!
