I am very happy with this unit. I previously owned the eTrek 10 and I think that the colour screen and ability to add maps to this unit was a very very useful feature that makes it easier to find your way and find locations without as much reference to a paper map because this one can have maps added to the memory or to a micro SD card (sold separately). I was able to load the street maps and the topographical maps for Australia at the same time using the micro SD card slot. It was not user friendly to load the maps and I needed help from several internet sites of people who had similar problems. But that only has to be done once then it is easy to use. The Russian satellite system seems to work well to add some extra signals to the normal GPS satellites. I really like the way I can customise (and change quickly) the screens and information that display for hiking or for driving or for geocaching etc. I am very happy I upgraded to the eTrek 30 from the eTrek 10. Shop around for the maps. They vary from $25 to $180 for some reason. It isn't a touch screen but the buttons are not hard to learn.Read full review
the gps is a great size, lightweight easy to use and understand, long battery life and great value for money.

The product is ok, not great but not bad either. What really lets it down is Garmin service. I had a problem installing the topographic maps because their map server had crashed. I tried (this is not an exageration) for 6 weeks to convince them the problem was their end, eventually they realised but not until I had been told to reinstall and turn it off and on again like some sort of moron for weeks on end. Basically I would think hard before I bought another Garmin product.

I bought this GPS as a replacement of a lost Etrex Vista. This GPS surpases Vista in most aspects, notably a better quality in the image, and better response to the buttons. I feel that the interface to the menu is not as good as with the Vista model, but perhaps it's because I haven't got used to it... Best of this model, like Vista, is its long battery life, its rugged design and its ability to stand wet environments.
