## Description

The eTrex 10 makes a great choice in handheld navigation for the budget savvy outdoor enthusiast. This eTrex model is equipped with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, a 2.2-inch monochrome display, and a worldwide basemap making it easier than ever to see where you are and where you have been. Garmin Connect compatible (online community where you analyze, categorize and share data).

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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I buy more detailed maps from Garmin and load them on this device?**
A: Just for further confirmation:  The Garmin provided features/abilities chart on this product page shows that the 20x and 30x allow "ability to add maps" and the 10 does NOT.

**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?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not perfect, but close.
*by V***E on August 31, 2016*

I bought this to replace my still currently missing Garmin Vista HCX. What I love is how in addition to the high sensitivity receiver my HCX had we now have the addition of Russian satellites (Glonass) to further help our coverage and boy does it help. I took this little fella on a short walk in my NY suburb and even though it is super cloudy today (zero blue sky) I was able to get over 10 satellites locked onto me and my location was pinpointed in 40 seconds from a cold start (meaning I just turned the unit on). The controls are simple, I love the little stick on this as it allows you to work the gadget while having gloves on, the system is fairly basic but that is ok, this is perfect for hiking or trying to get back to home base or a camp in the woods. The only downside I really see to this is the limited memory, I think for 2016 its inexcusable to have 8mb internal storage, you can easily allow a microsd card to be put into this for this price. I didn't want an etrex 20 or 30 because what is great about the etrex 10 is because its display is so limited and basic it saves a ton of battery power. When i'm trying to get my butt home, I dont need beautiful vivid colors, I need point A, point B and accuracy and reliability, that is it. It would be nice to have the memory upgrade but I still feel I can work without it. Overall this is your bare bones GPS and even on a super cloudy day like today I was getting an accuracy of 5 feet surrounded by buildings, trees, and a ton of clouds. my main gripes with this is, again, limited memory storage (at least allow microsd card come on) and doesn't come with a small travel case and not even a lanyard (really? you couldn't pony up 25 cents for a lanyard garmin?) but despite missing the bells and whistles I have to say the accuracy and reception on this thing is freaking awesome, I will soon go out on a big hiking trip to test this even further.
