It´s 2024, I bought an eTrex 10 in 2023. One of the best buys of my life.

I own not only an eTrex 10, but also the legendary Garmin 45 from the 80ies, the ForeTrex 401, and the GPSMAP 67. I strongly disagree for me, personally. At first, knowing your position is almost useless. You need an additional map, and good luck with transferring the ° and ' or UTM-coordinates to the position there. Then, you cannot store and thus refer to waypoints if you haven't been there. Same for tracks. BaseCamp is not a solution, because the maps there are also useless. You cannot plan a trip, or, perhaps you go to the internet, find an online map,, and type in the coordinates into your eTrex. For eTrex-owners: On the internet, you can find numerous pages with instructions, how to load OSM maps into BaseCamp. That will help, of course, although it is a bit fiddly. But that does not really help,, because you are not a bird which can fly in a direct line over obstacles. For me, the only usable function of the device is to get a satellite fix, and that can be done with very much cheaper, smaller, and lighter devices. Including storage of tracks, display of speed, etc., which of course is also possible with the eTrex. Monochrome display? In this video, not at my device, I have also seen blue and kind of olive. Is this a covert advertisement?

user? i hardly know her

Thank you for the lesson. I like this simple no-colour screen style. But what about downloading points into Google Map, or vice versa? How do you do that with this unit?

I hunt were this is no cell signal. This device is essential

Can I get the magnetic declination in degrees based on location on e trex10?

I’ve been geocaching for a couple years and have found myself in many pickles due to phone reception. I picked one up second hand and hope to upgrade to a better unit in the future.

Great video, thanks!!

I found it on the trail. To be honest it's a hunk of shit The compass doesn't even work and the map sucks which are the only things that seem like I would want in a GPS. The only cool thing that worked well What's the sunrise in moonrise and maybe the elevation and distance

Bought 1 still trying figure out how to use it

Thank you for this video, I was able to replace the Ridgeline glovebox latch!

Great facts! Made me buy it. I'm doing the cape wrath trail in Scotland. I will have a map anyway for elevation and fairly confident with a compass and orientation. but as a back up for £100 it's a no brainer.

Thanks for posting this video. It helped me alot.

Could you explain why the lanyard is 'awesome' please? Thanks.

I used this for fishing when I get to close to my bush pile it go to a different way point not being able get right on them what am I doing wrong

Can you turn off the GPS and only use the data cards?

What does the color change in satellites mean? gray is when it is connected and white when it is disconnected?

I have the Dakota 10. What is the big difference between the 10 and 20, juat the SD card? Do I need to upgrade to a newer model. I don't know if I am missing anything on the Newer models?

Great vid🤠

But will it give me a 6, 8, or ten point grid coordinate for one of my bread crumbs

That’s the best explanation of geocaching lol

Great overview. However, in my experience, I’d like to add. The unit has to be on for Tracks to be recorded, Waypoints are recorded with unit on or off. Trackback feature doesn’t work well in the Forrest. But works great when there is no tree canopy above.

So adorable

Hi sir My gps says "memory full" though I deleted all the routes, tracs and waypoint Plz help

The device is giving me a warning that the memory is full. And that I can not save any path points. Although I deleted all the coordinates and paths. What do I do? Device type etrex 10

Can I use these tracks to create a polygon…?

Just got 1 today...Fantastic video Thanks

Can I use it for a long trek like around 100 miles?? And can I view the total descent and ascent of a particular track in this device? Can anybody help me with that?

I've had this for years and it does the trick. It certainly needs a screen lock or stand by mode though

Sir some times shows ... Without GPS FIX ... HOW TO MANAGE THAT PROBLEM sir

I just bought this after the LCD screen on my original etrex I used for 20 years started to fade. What an amazing product. If you are on foot with a map and a compass the etrek is perfect and you are good to go!!! This produt is more for people who want to confirm their position, minimise weight, and extend battery life as opposed to someone who wants to follow it for navigational guidance (although it can be used for that, read on). If you are comfortable navigating with a map and a compass it is perfect. If you do want to use it to guide you, you will need to download a GPS track and you can then follow the arrows, that works well too, but your battery life will be shortened as opposed to turning it on a few time during the day. For the price and the functionality it is amazing. You won't go wrong. Even if you carry it as a backup.

nice,....

Smartphones are like swiss army knives. Yeah its fantastic having a jack of all trades device handy, but to do something specific long term, you really want to have the specialized tool.

No entendí ni mierda

Love the easy to follow no nonsense approach. Purchasing one after watching both videos of this unit. Much appreciated.

Excellent summation - thank you!

++There are VERY detailed FREE Map Projects out. To download to your Garmin.

I use my 1999-01 unit. (Garmin 12) As I have no need for maps. The newer ones like the 20/30 aren't necessarily better. Remember the unit is only as good as your Satellites & reception. Laws keep & kept them from being 100% accurate.

I have had other handheld gps devices and smart watches, and really, they are a bit overkill. The etrex10 is really all I need.

25 yards!!! that's air rifle distance, 100 yards should be the minimum distance to test a centre fire.

Is it good in cities?

Has better mapping then the explorer +

Is there a way to retrieve my waypoints if I selected "Delete All" accidentally? There must be a backup of stored memory in there somewhere. Thanks!

No Geocaching for my place in India.

What a mess. Don't buy unless you can find personal instruction. All I wanted to do was to record a point and get back to it. I was able to do that with a $20 dollar unit. Not with this. There should be night courses you can take to learn how to use this, followed up by out-in-the-field instruction. Presently, it's just an expensive conversation piece for my coffee table.

Caution ! The latest eTrex is said to need Maps download and the amont of internal memory last a rôle on this one. There is also room for an SIM card below the batteries

My phone does all of this but way better

Can you manually enter gps Coord as a waypoint?

I LOVE IT !!! this is going to inspire me to buy one (this one)
