Review on Garmin eTrex 10 Navigator by Arata Kichiro ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

I have been using the device for a year. My impressions - a great device! I use it for paragliding. Excellent functionality, accuracy of transmitted information, customization of data fields to my needs - compass, speed, azimuths, time calculations - as a pilot, I need this. Does not slow down, does not buggy, insane performance on 2 AA-batteries! More than 20 hours. It does not glare, it is well read even in direct contact with bright sunlight on the display. Even if you are flying under very dense clouds, the signal (GLONAS-GPS, by the way.) is very stable! Never lost satellites! The signal from 4-5 satellites is received at home 1.5-2 meters from a closed window. The case is made very high quality, no squeaks, no backlash. Flawless! Saves tracks. Some complain about the small memory - well, yes, there is a little . But since the tracks weigh very little, so a large memory is simply not needed. It sometimes slows down when saving tracks, when switching between modes, but this is not critical - in the "online" work, no brakes or glitches were observed - neither in the heat + 26-28, nor in the cold 16-18. In a very dense dense forest as well - an impeccable reception! I checked it in practice: I walked through a dense forest - the sky is almost invisible, very dense clouds, rain. Passed the test with 5+. satellites have never been lost. As a tourist instrument and as a flight instrument - at the same time - I simply recommend it! For pilots (if there are any guys among those reading), I recommend HIM! Monitor monochrome - because. color still reads worse in the bright sun and eats batteries more actively - and even more so - NO touch screens - this is unacceptable in the air - moisture, condensation . And that's it. Not a single touch device is controllable . Try to control a touch phone with a wet finger. Or with a dry finger on a wet sensor . You press one - the other turns on . It will be very distracting . Monochrome has a better viewing angle. There is NO superfluous, "marketing" in this navigator! Everything is very accessible, understandable and functional! In a word: GARMIN. Flagship in navigation. Good luck everyone!
