  • load the city navigator map on it if you plan to use for travel on road and towns. for backwoods and remote area load topo maps. sometimes it glitches and turns off when inputting address, just slow down and let it process. This and a compass go where I go.
  • 4 stars because 5 would be perfect. NO NAVIGATION INSTRUMENT is 100% perfect 100% of the time.I have used this for a couple weeks walking and driving around town and hiking in The White Mountain National Forest. It DOES A GOOD JOB FOR THE MONEY!NEED TO KNOW. My unit would not work until updates were installed. The Open Source map is a GLOBAL (the entire planet) shaded relief map. That is a colossal amount of data. Plan on adding a micro SD card for extra memory, connecting to a computer and allowing LOTS of time for updates before using. After updating you may choose only the map regions you need to save memory. I like having the whole planet! Also, there is NO \"lock safety\" for the toggle and buttons. Be careful not to have them pressed while carrying the unit in a pouch or case.A little about me. I have been hiking/camping for over 50 years and never been \"lost\" for more than a short time (99.9% who say they never get disoriented occasionally either never goes out or lies). I could always get back to a known point in a reasonable time with map/compass, with both or only one (paper maps & magnetic compasses can be off too!). I do know how to get around in the woods. I do NOT backpack without paper map & magnetic compass.I have been using a handheld GPS for several years. They are good tools when properly used (always with paper map & magnetic compass). This Etrex 22x replaces my Garmin Oregon that was dropped & lost in a National Forest (Lesson learned, keep it tethered).In some ways I like the Etrex22x better.It has a nonslip side and fits my hand nicely. It is one hand usable (I think light weight gloves will be ok with it). The included Open Source map is more than adequate for basic navigation. This map is updated by users and in some places provides info only a user would be able to contribute. This map has some points paper maps do not have. You can add micro SD cards for specific maps. It\'s helpful to compare information on several maps while backpacking.Etrex 22x has all the basic features/functions needed for general navigation.There is, of course, a learning curve. Garmin support is VERY HELPFUL. Be sure to use their expertise and learn the device BEFORE you go out.Some product info is confusing because the manual is for two GPS units (and, of course, some YouTubers are not correct).Etrex22x does NOT have a 3 axis compass or barometric altimeter. The compass only knows direction while moving (remember your magnetic compass!). The altimeter DOES know elevation from the satellite beacons. I have a barometric altimeter and have compared it to the etrex22x. I find the 22x more reliable. In TRACK MANAGER and ROUTE PLANNER you will find an elevation plot.Etrex 22x CAN BE used for automotive navigation. It WILL relocate route on roadways. It can also plan routes for bicycle and pedestrian. You must select mode of travel.Etrex 22x Open Source map DOES have some boundaries for state and federal lands. These boundaries are not as detailed as what is provided with micro SD cards, but do give the general area. Open Source maps are updated as new info becomes available. Check for updates every once-in-awhile.Overall, I am confident that the etrex 22x will track my hike and give me the info I need to navigate The White Mountain National Forest and Wilderness areas (some impressively varied terrain!), on and off trails (again, along with a magnetic compass and paper map). This replaces a much more expensive GPS unit that had a map specific card installed. It was a tough act to follow. It does well. For the money, I am impressed.
  • Creo que este es uno de los GPS más conocidos, el precio es bueno para un producto nuevo, he comprado 3 desde diciembre y todos bien empacados y funcionando bien, sin problemas hasta ahora
  • Need better operating instructions for beginners. Simplify.
  • The compass on this is GPS-based, not a true electronic compass. If you\'re not under a satellite or not moving, you ain\'t got no compass. Shouldn\'t be a big deal if everything else is working, just make sure you bring a separate compass with you. I dropped 2 stars because their description page does make this clear, and the manual, which I read before buying, gave explicit instructions on how to calibrate the compass on the 22X model. But when you tried, the option doesn\'t show and you\'re left guessing what\'s wrong. Turns out you gotta spring $100 more for the 33X to get that, and the only way I found all this out was because of the good folks who make those You Tube videos. I almost returned it, not for not having the electronic compass but for not making it clear that it did not have one and making you think it did. But if everything else is works satisfactorily during a couple of hikes coming up during the return window, I\'ll keep it and will update my review then as well. Otherwise, everything else has set up easily and we\'re ready to try out the way points, tracking and route planning.
  • I really like this GPS. It gives me the functionality I need, and the price is right.Well, almost all the functionality I need, BUT NOT ALL!There is apparently no way to get the current time to display with the seconds! I have just spoken with Garmin customer support, who confirmed that there is indeed no way. Too bad and tough luck. Hours and minutes are all you get.To my thinking this is sheer idiocy. Needless to say, the primary use of a GPS device is to get where we are going. But an important secondary use is to know the exact time. Because the common man has no way of knowing that more precisely and more inexpensively than by consulting a GPS device, whose very operation depends on super-accurate time clocks.But with the Etrex-22 we are SOL for that.Terrible!
  • Although it\'s useful, cheaper model would of worked just as well.
  • Purchased this for both hunting and fishing here in North Carolina. Relatively easy to use and read even though it is a small compact unit. Very accurate. Added the expanded memory and maps. Very satisfied.
