eTrex 30x Handheld GPS

Bought for geocaching and hiking. I Loaded free osm "topo" maps on it so there is usable maps. took a bit to adjust from a phone to a gps handheld. despite the small screen and meh interface, Personally , i will never go back to a phone, battery life is great i have tracks everywhere i go and its easy to use once you get the hang of it.its got me "out of the woods" a few times when i lost my bearing conpletly.. joystick is good with gloves or wet hands. not 100% sold on the waterproof or ruggedness, but after 6 months of use its great for me, and if i lost it , i would buy another one tomorrow.

The hand held gps is very small. In order to scan out to see where the roads are, the writing is not readable. It doesn't work well for anyone with any kind of vision issues.

Feels like something that might brake on my hand. Screen is way to small and no topo loaded I guess you have to buy and they are not cheap at all.

The picture on the box is very misleading, you must buy maps if you want to see rivers. Kayakers beware.. Also I have never in my life had a hand held GPS that will run your blood pressure through the roof trying to figure out how to get it to do what you want it to do. No help in instructions unless you can decipher confusion. Download this then download that, pay for maps, you come out better with a smart phone and an app. Never again garmin, and I had 3 of these in the past when I used to hunt and kayak. What a difference a few years make.
