Review: Still great after almost four years! - Desperate for an inexpensive GPS unit, I bought this late in 2014. At first, its logic took some getting used to, for the track record is always on, and you have to clear the active track to start a new one. Not a big deal, because of course you can save the track before deleting it. Also, the "back" button seems to be the simplest way to move through menus. This unit replaced a series of an older inexpensive Garmin model, which lived up to their reputation of failing every two years or so, though they were fine up to the failure point. Anyway, after almost four years of extensive use and the occasional drop, my eTrex 10 is still getting the job done really well. The display is old-style plain, not for everyone, but this translates into superb battery life. I can run it all day on a fresh pair of rechargeable AA's without any fear of data loss. The accuracy of handheld GPS units is hard to pin down--smoke and mirrors, but this one certainly does the job for road logs and hiking records. Sensitivity is excellent and it doesn't take long to find satellites. Downloading tracks is easy and dependable, something I can't say for my old Garmin Forerunner 305 wrist GPS. When connected to a USB port, the eTrex 10's track and waypoint data appear in a virtual drive folder, for easy copy or upload to GPS software. All I want from a GPS device is reliable information on where I am and where I've been, for I depend on mapping software to deliver actual graphics. Users who want better mapping support from the unit itself would find the eTrex graphics too limited. Also, I don't go after geocaches and can't evaluate the unit for that. But the eTrex 10 is just fine for locating myself in trackless woods, for providing a work record of where I've been, and for keeping track of my auto travel details. I did have one tense moment when, for failture of housekeeping, the track memory became so full that there didn't seem to be enough left to run the track deletion sequence. Can't remember how I got around that; maybe by starting with the smallest tracks. Didn't want to do a complete reset because there was some information I had not downloaded.
Review: Great GPS, albeit small internal memory - This GPS works very well and lasts a very long time on a single pair of alkaline AA batteries. My primary purpose is geotagging photographs, but it's handy to get around and measure distances, as well. With GLONASS and WAAS activated, this receiver locks on incredibly quickly, even if it hasn't been turned on in a couple weeks, and it's very accurate (down to 8 feet in open areas). The screen is monochrome and is highly readable in direct sunlight, which is a huge bonus over color models. A carabiner clip is sold separately, but you could fasten a zip tie to one as well. For the geography buffs, you can also change the map datum to whatever format you need, including the standard WGS84, NAD83, and GRS80, as well as change the coordinate system to most conceivable combinations of degrees, minutes, and seconds, as well as decimals of degrees or minutes. You can also save plenty of waypoints to save your favorite locations (or find your way back to your car). The biggest caveat is the miniscule 8 megabytes of internal memory compared to other GPS receivers that sport several gigabytes of storage. However, you can download and convert OpenStreetMap portions to put your local area into the device before going on a trip to get access to street and trail maps, which are very handy when you don't want to fiddle with a paper map. (There's no topography, though.) However, as mentioned at the start, I use this device to geotag photos taken with my camera, and it generates standard GPX files, which can be saved on the device to split up your current trek as you please. As long as you keep your camera's clock in sync with the clock on this receiver (be careful if using near daylight-saving time transitions), it will work with software like GeoSetter, Lightroom, and Picasa, and it works with any digital camera that stores the date and time the photo was taken.

**Q: As a Kayaker can I put in my Launch Point a waypoint and use this to return to it**
A: Absolutely. I would make sure the unit is kept in a dry bag, but it will surely point you in the right direction and get you to within 25 feet of your launch site.

**Q: I would like to buy it for lead my hiking outside, I just want it can help me don't get lost in woods,and make me go right trials, is it OK for that?**
A: Its not going to show the right trails, but it will prevent you from getting lost.

**Q: Can I input longitude and latitude**
A: I need to get coordinates UTM and latitude and longitude, I live in Venezuela, this team works for my country? the computer brings up a screen that generates UTM coordinates and lat / log?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ NO MAPS BUT LOT'S OF USEFUL INFORMATION AND TRACKING WHERE YOU'VE BEEN
*by P***W on January 25, 2026*

This works well. Its only downside is that it dosen't show a map. I does draw a line on the screen so you can back to where you were. There are additional screeens that show interresting information. How many miles walked. How long you were moving, how long you stopped. Average speed walked. Most important to me is the time that the sun will set and the time that it will rise.
