Review on Garmin eTrex 10 Navigator by Amphai Sangchang ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

I downloaded basecamp, filled in the points from the backup of the old etrex without any problems. Rumor has it that by removing the overview map of the world, you can somehow fill in a more or less detailed map of 2022. But I have not found time to study this topic yet. Has pros: Looks and feels like its predecessor, which worked for me for about 10 years. The same hard case, rubber all around, sealed connector. It seems that everything that should be in such a device is there. In short, it feels like the same old etrex, only there is an overview map of the world (for example, Hong Kong - the dot indicates Hong Kong and the points of satellite cities such as Hong Kong or Balashikha, for example), because of the fresh chip, I began to catch satellites in my jacket pocket (the old one did not catch in pockets, and in a damp forest, I hope that the etrex 10 will not let you down in a wet forest), long battery life, and much longer. Well, spherical glonass in a vacuum, while satellites are not in the ocean, is also rather a plus. And, finally, in the map / track, you can wind the map beyond the limits of what surrounds the point of the current position. Hooray. And dots are entered in 2022 letters, and the length of the name is finally normal. Got cons: 1) The joystick button protrudes very strongly. A friend on the legend seems to have the same protruding button during transportation broke the joystick from the board, had to be disassembled and repaired. 2) Could also build more than 8 megs of memory. 21st century in the yard, cheap memory, ssd drives and all that. As if hinting that it was necessary to buy 20. Well, I do not want a color screen.
