Out of the box, the eTrex 10 units default to kilometres. I tend to leave this setting as-is. All the maps in my collection use km as the unit of measure. The power button is mounted on the top right of the body. To turn on the eTrex 10 simply press and hold for a couple of seconds. If you are worrying about this being accidentally switched on, don’t. You don’t have to press hard, but chances of you accidentally powering on the device are incredibly remote. I’ve been on numerous trips and never once managed to achieve this feat. The eTrex 10 GPS Menu System Summary of the walk and my thoughts on both the Garmin GPSMAP 67 and the Zoleo two-way satellite communicator - 20:20 Nothing beats navigating with a map and compass but sometimes for ease-of-use it’s much simpler to use the magnetic compass built into the Garmin eTrex 10.

As an entry level model, it’s easy to outstrip the Garmin eTrex 10 GPS – its eTrex siblings feature colour screens, more storage and helpful additions like an altimeter, in the case of the Garmin eTrex 32x. Equally, for more professional-level users the Garmin GPSMAP 65 range offers serious firepower for only a little more bulk. However, bear in mind that you’re more than doubling and then trebling the price of the little Garmin eTrex 10 to step up to those two examples respectively, so very much a case of horses for courses.

Planning the route on your PC/ Mac on TalkyToaster maps or the free OS route planning software - 00:55 In some ways it feels as if Garmin have attempted to make the ETrex everything for everyone. Here’s an example: one of the features built-in to this GPS device is aimed squarely at nautical activities. Which is great if you own a boat and he regularly sale around the world. But not so great for a product aimed squarely at the hiker’s marketplace. After all, how many hikers do you know who haul yacht behind them as they roam through dark Woodlands and over huge hills? This two-way satellite communicator from Garmin is a great piece of kit, but let’s see how it performs in the hills.

My eTrex 10 is over 5 years old and still the readings were within a few metres of those shown on the newer navigation aids.
