    Why not use maps.me or similar on phone?

    • zoner on 25/12/2021 - 14:52
      +6

      For different use cases….for example:
      I have 10 of these and use them for vehicle tracking on mine sites when undertaking noise measurements.

      • stickymoo on 25/12/2021 - 16:25

        So can I put one in my vehicle and find it with another?

        • zoner on 25/12/2021 - 16:29

          Probably not….and that's not the purpose in my case.

            @zoner: What do you mean by vehicle tracking?

              @stickymoo: They can keep a 1 second position log, I use that for post processing

              • UsernameChecksIn on 26/12/2021 - 08:31

                @zoner: At first I read that as a circular log that amounts to a total of one second worth of data stored 👀

                1-second interval frequency?

                Other comment says onboard 4GB storage - this is a model without microSD slot

                • zoner on 26/12/2021 - 10:39

                  @UsernameChecksIn: Yep, interval.
                  Regarding SD card, I don't use them
                  The unit can Store 100 tracks, If I'm not mistaken, 1 track at 1sec interval is 4hours worth of data

      • takemymoney on 25/12/2021 - 16:56

        Hey mate, can you tell me the max frequency of tracking it can do? I wonder also if it can be always on /tracking via USB. Cheers

        • zoner on 25/12/2021 - 19:24

          You can set it, 1sec is the min, not sure about the max. It last as long as the batteries, not sure about the usb though. It saves to tacking files , which are different files then the waypoints.

              The unit that was posted by O.P is not a safety device either. It will tell you where you are and how to return.

              A PLB will let authorities know in case of an emergency..

    • Angelino on 25/12/2021 - 15:59

      The battery life lasts longer than my phone battery and it's waterproof meaning if I'm hiking and it's raining I don't have to worry about getting it wet.
      Don't often see this model under $100.

  • jasong on 25/12/2021 - 14:57

    Just watched some reviews saying the eTrex 10 doesn't let you update maps. For anyone who has one, has this been something that you found lacking?

    • Acejos on 25/12/2021 - 15:02
      +2

      I think you are correct, get the eTrex35 for map loading it has 4GB storage and SD Slot.

      This is from Garmin:
      "Even though the eTrex 10 does have a worldwide basemap loaded, it cannot be loaded with any additional mapping. The eTrex 10 does not have any internal memory for adding mapping, and there is not a microSD card slot for expanded memory. The eTrex 10 is considered to be a non-mapping GPS unit, designed for simplicity. The eTrex 10 was primarily made to save waypoints and tracks, so that you can find places and locations that are important and to keep you from getting lost."

    • eug on 25/12/2021 - 15:03
      +4

      Depends on where you intend to use it. If you're using it for hikes, the terrain generally takes a very long time to change. :)

      If you're just using it to breadcrumb your hike then it doesn't really matter.

    • BuyoTheCat on 25/12/2021 - 15:29

      The etrex10 will tell you where you are, on a base world map (which doesnt have much detail.)

      if you plot a route, or use a gps, the etex10 will tell you where you are along the route. so not having a detailed map doesnt not matter. if you are using it to log your trek, no detail map is also ok.

    • eug on 25/12/2021 - 15:18

      Might be worth noting it's a pretty old model. Still a good price for a brand new unit though.

    • droppagrogan on 25/12/2021 - 15:56
      +1

      Thanks for mentioning. I grabbed one for hiking/motorbike, these units are pretty good and for the price is the best I have seen. Not the newest unit but has all the connectivity needed and I love that it can use the lithium ion battery or AAs. Charge it fully and take it hiking, if the battery runs out throw some AAs in to keep it going.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/12/2021 - 16:50

        Have you used these devices for motorcycling before? Any idea of this units benefits over OP's for this situation apart from the obvious screen?

        OP seems enough for both unless I'm missing something? Another comment I read says slow to update terrain making it redundant for motorcycling I guess..

        • iratepirate on 25/12/2021 - 17:43

          I've got a Montana 680T on my dirt bike and it works great.
          Benefit vs etrex is full 1:25K topo maps, more waypoints and tracks, sd card for larger and custom maps and turn by turn navigation.

    Great deal. Thanks for sharing.

  • elektron on 25/12/2021 - 15:27

    I assume these are redundant if I have a Fenix 6X Saphire?

    • ripprind on 25/12/2021 - 16:36

      Bigger screen and heaps more battery life on this.

      • elektron on 26/12/2021 - 00:09
        +2

        2.2" vs 2" l, fixed vs updatable maps, plus the convenience of an all-in-one device that's strapped to your wrist and keeps your hand free, and I already get a full 2 weeks battery on the 6X (not using maps that much though).

        • d123 on 26/12/2021 - 00:18

          And what did you pay for your Fenix 6X? Serious question.

          • elektron on 26/12/2021 - 09:27

            @d123: $700 at JB for the Sapphire edition, during the 2020 Black Friday catalogue (paid with cards bought busing my credit card points). Interestingly, there was a lot of talk of an imminent release of Fenix 7 at the time…It's now been more than a year…I don't do any hiking though and have switched to my Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm, for the smarter features, but also prefer its workout tracking. Can't bring myself to sell the Fenix though, as I really like the look and the battery.

        • ripprind on 26/12/2021 - 02:54
          +2

          True. I have a fenix x6 Sapphire and I'm quite happy with it actually. The battery has always lasted an entire day hike if I remembered to fully charge in the morning.

          And I much prefer colour display even if it is much smaller.

  • shabaka on 25/12/2021 - 15:28
    +3

    oh wow these things still exist

    I had one 10 years ago and I think they are kind of redundant now

    • BuyoTheCat on 25/12/2021 - 15:31
      +7

      for your needs, yes. There is still a large community that finds these devices useful

      • shabaka on 25/12/2021 - 15:45
        +1

        most definitely! I was immersed in this back then, this is a fantastic little device for what it is and what it does (and how long it lasts)

        nothing changed in this area I guess.

        • eug on 25/12/2021 - 16:48

          Screen resolution, colour, mapping, receiver sensitivity, battery life, size and weight, memory, UI… all that has improved since the original eTrex.

      • droppagrogan on 25/12/2021 - 15:58

        Definitely, phones are not as rugged and battery doesn't last as long and I have a Garmin Forerunner watch for GPS which is great for simple navigation but kind of useless if you need to nut out if a problem comes up.

        The main issue with this budget version is the fixed maps. Prob worth grabbing the Montana 610 for $218 if you want to be able update maps/use different regions.

    Got one thx OP. I'm an entry level hiker and this is perfect for some casual activities out there in the wild. I don't need fancy color large touch screen for that. Mono color and AA batteries mean simple, reliable and long life span when it comes to electronic devices, just like the battery powered radio.

    • AdamFury on 25/12/2021 - 17:24

      Exactly my reasoning for picking one up. Will make me a bit less worried about my phone going dead / no reception.

      I should add a battery powered radio to my list!

          @BuyoTheCat thank you :) I will check them out!

  • kampret on 25/12/2021 - 17:32

    I suppose this can be used as a GPS logger to geotag my photos?

    • BuyoTheCat on 03/01/2022 - 14:50

      It can. The way GPS logger works is:

      Set the time on the logger and the camera to match.
      The logger will log a point every set interval. A route will be plotted.
      When you get to a computer, you will need to use a program/application to tag the route (usually as a .gpx) to the photos. it is tagged according to the timestamp on the .gpx and the image file.

      !!!IMPORTANT!!!
      The time set on the logger and the camera MUST be the same
