Review on 🌊 Waterproof Hiking GPS: Garmin eTrex Enhances Navigation by Josh Thompson

I've been thinking about buying a GPS device for a long time, but I hesitated because of the price, size and durability. I wasn't looking for something complicated to use in a car; just something to keep track of your hikes. Longevity has been a big issue since I was 10 years old. Also, I couldn't justify spending a few hundred dollars on a fragile device. E-Trex was perfect for me. After reading other reviews of other GPS navigators failing after exposure to light rain or fog, I was concerned about buying a unit that would fail after minimal exposure to the elements. I chose this device because of the robust housing and the waterproof design. The device was about the size of a cell phone and relatively light even with batteries. parks as well as other state parks in Utah. While reception deteriorated in canyons 60 feet wide and 400 feet deep, I expected that to happen. Along the way, the detachment faced high winds, red dust (its tufts) and a small downpour. Completed without issue. During a hike in one of Utah's state parks, my son used it to use the return function to find his way out. Although I thought we might find a way out of the park, it put my wife at ease. I also used the tracking feature to match the map provided to our actual trail at another park. It turned out to be a cheap insurance policy. I used the output coordinates with astronomy software to create star maps. The only reason I give it 4 out of 5 is that management needs to be reorganized. Eventually, through trial and error, I managed to figure out how to use it.
