The Garmin eTrex 20 is a great handheld GPS unit. This is great for hiking, biking, or just having a spare lying around for when you need to get off grid.
Pros
- Small
- Relatively light
- Always has reception
Cons
- Screen is easily scratched
The Garmin eTrex 20 is a great handheld GPS unit. I use this unit every day for work as a forestry technician.
This unit, in my experience, has usually 3-7 meters of accuracy in Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. It always seems to have reception, others I have had do not. This GPS gets dragged around in the forest with no mercy. It has a decent battery life, but the screen is easy to scratch.
I have used this GPS in the rain and in temperatures over 90 degrees and in the 20s. For a lightweight handheld, I do not need anything else. Most of the time the eTrex is paired with a topo map and never fails. A great little GPS for a just in case moment, biking, camping, and for hiking.
