From the manufacturer

eTrex 10 retains the core functionality, rugged construction, affordability and long battery life that made eTrex the most dependable GPS device available. We improved the user interface and added a worldwide basemap, paperless geocaching and support for spine-mounting accessories.

eTrex 10

Rugged Handheld GPS with Enhanced Capabilities.

Worldwide basemap
2.2" monochrome display, easy to read in any light
GPS and GLONASS satellites for faster positioning
Paperless geocaching
25-hour battery life with 2 AA batteries

eTrex

Find Fun

eTrex supports geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. eTrex stores and displays key information, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and paper printouts.

Keep Your Fix

With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, eTrex locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.

Go Global

The eTrex series is the first-ever consumer-grade receivers that can track both GPS and GLONASS satellites simultaneously. When using GLONASS satellites, a system developed by the Russian Federation, the time it takes for the receiver to 'lock on' to a position is (on average) approximately 20 percent faster than using GPS.

Plan Your Next Trip

Take charge of your next adventure with BaseCamp, software that lets you view and organize maps, waypoints, routes, and tracks
This free trip-planning software even allows you to create Garmin Adventures that you can share with friends, family or fellow explorers.
BaseCamp displays topographic map data in 2-D or 3-D on your computer screen, including contour lines and elevation profiles. It also can transfer an unlimited amount of satellite images to your device when paired with a BirdsEye Satellite Imagery subscription.

A perfect hiking handheld GPS, long battery life

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

I feel the etrex size is too small to really take advantage of terrain maps both in detail and scroll speed, so for hiking, simple open water navigation or backwoods purposes, an eTrex 10 is all that I need to complement a compass and paper map; I use it like old style radar, follow the blip to a target using whatever route you visually survey is best. A key use is marking way-points and toughness under field conditions [ cold, rain, mud, heat, drops], to later port that data to a larger map on paper, tablet or PC, once at a rest stop or base station. For safety, its 'trackback' provides a simple way to return to base in poor visibility.

Pros
built tough and water resistant for hiking purpose, so no case needed. I dropped it 10' many times to rug and dirt, in a bathtub of water, without issue
Easy, fast single click marking of waypoints separate from tracks
Tracking is automatic and uses little memory
joystick & button navigation is easy to operate with gloves on
B&W screen great in sunlight
Power consumption is >=30% _less_ than color eTrex [ 10 draws 60mA; the 30 or 20 is 90 mA, no maps installed, lights off, GPS+GLONASS+WAAS ON and active satellites tracked]
If GPS alone is used, eTrex 10 draws only 45mA
easy to learn without a manual
improved accuracy via WAAS and GLONASS support, as close as 6' with waypoint averaging
Fast re-acquisition of satellites once initial acquisition is obtained
Upgraded to latest firmware via Garmin Express easily
Lots of support from Garmin website or 3rd party websites or blogs
Easy exporting data to Google Maps and Earth via BaseCamp
>50 continuous hours on 2x Lithium AA [ test batteries were not yet exhausted]
33 continuous hours with 2000mAH NiMH, 41 continuous hours if GPS only, GLONASS and WAAS OFF

Cons
No maps
No beeper or buzzer for alarms
B&W screen less sharp vs color but works in all lighting conditions
not enough documentation in the shipped manual
No clip or lanyard included

Note, most ads for the eTrex 10 state is has 'no memory'. What they mean is no memory to store maps, it has 7.5 MB/10MB free [ the rest is use by the system] to store tracks, waypoints, caches etc., onboard. You can store several 1000s of these as the data size is very small and by then, it gets unwieldy to search and manipulate.

Nothing more to buy beyond a belt clip Garmin Carabiner clip .

This is really good for training for a long trip on a bicycle. You can get your max speed, average speed and distance over a trip without having to perform calibration like you might have to on a magnet based odometer. I'm not sure what the actually battery life is (you will need to check this yourself) but I've had it going for quite a while now and haven't had to change the batteries yet.

Programming this think for navigation on a bicycle trip is a pain in the rear, but I would expect that since it doesn't come with any reasonable maps. Also, the maps can't be upgraded. If you are clever, however, you can use Google Maps to get the coordinates of waypoints for your bike route and *carefully* program it so you can tell where you are supposed to be going. It is a bit tricky but it can be done... If you aren't careful you might accidentally enter a WayPoint wrong during programming and then the device becomes pretty difficult to use. Also, the device doesn't list the names of the waypoints or even show you the direction to the next waypoint in queue. Because of this you probably don't want to ever set a waypoint at a 4 way intersection. Until you get in the middle of the intersection there will be a lot of confusion as to which way you are supposed to goto next. You have to deal with intersections by programming your waypoints to be met slightly *before* the intersection (perhaps 500 feet before), that way when you het the waypoint the device will automatically show you the direction to the next waypoint *before* you get to the intersection.

If you're a *serious* cyclist and don't want to deal with the hassles of this device, you might wan to buy one of Garmins more expensive models with better maps, but if you are like me an you have only done a few long distance bike rides, you might be willing to put up with the inconveniences to save some money.

Basically, I *really* like this product, but you have to be skilled to use it. And I like the long battery life.

Its Simple to use and is very accurate. I use it for Woodland walks and for the Waypoint Navigation and Trip data. 2 AA Batteries last Ages and will be enough power to cover a whole days walking easily.
very rugged and compact and light. A good basic waypoint navigation tool that can be used all over the UK mainly for me. Used for nearly a year on and off and has not let me down yet. If you want something like Google maps... this is not for you. But for a cheaper simple Waypoint Nav device. This is it.

El único equipo que no debe faltar en tu mochila de senderismo o montañismo!!!!!

Reviewed in Mexico on May 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

El Garmin eTrex es el navegador más básico de bolsillo para senderismo y montañismo de la marca Garmin.
Desde mi punto de vista es el único equipo que necesito para explorar en conjunto con un mapa impreso y una brujula.
Existen modelos mas avanzados de GARMIN que incorporan brújula digital, pantalla a color, mapas topográficos integrados, barómetro, sin embargo considero son mera vanidad ya que muchos de ellos no son 100% útiles en campo dado que existen limitaciones como:
Pantalla a color: Consume la batería mas rápidamente.
Brújula digital: Consume batería mas rápidamente, no te permite apuntar con precision a tu destino como lo harías con una buena brujula con espejo y no te permite ver a través del mapa para alienar tu mapa como lo harías con la brujula de placa.
Barómetro: Consume batería rápidamente, muy difícilmente vas a saber tu altitud mediante el barómetro si no lo calibras en base a una altitud de referencia conocida que obviamente te lo dará un mapa impreso, para predecir el clima tendrías que estar cuidando el gps cuando de señales de cambio de presión para poder ver si hay mal tiempo próximo, lo cual implica encender el equipo y gastar mas bateria.
Mapas topográficos: No es lo mismo ver un mapa en grande donde puedes ver en una sola hoja varias referencias como las montañas, en el gps sera muy difícil ver el TODO en una pantalla tan pequeña, no podrás trazar tu ruta sobre los mapas digitales tan fácilmente a menos que sea touch.

En resumen: Es el equipo ideal que tendrías que tener para uso en emergencias o cuando necesites confirmar tu ubicación, y por tanto no sustituye al uso de brujula y mapa, si no todo lo contrario, los complementan. En amazon puedes encontrarte unas buenas brújulas Suunto y Brunton a buen precio, te recomiendo uses brujula con espejo y los mapas son gratuitos en el portal del INEGI del gobierno.
Su precisión es muy buena en comparación a la de un GPS de un iPhone, este último batalla mucho cuando recorres bosques densos, cosa que con el garmin no se aprecia tanto.
La capacidad de ubicar (HotFix) rápidamente tu ubicación es agradecida cuando recorres cañones, barrancas o bosques densos, ya que permite mantenerte en el rumbo preciso.
Puedes conectarlo a plataforma de gestión de datos propia de GARMIN mediante cable USB o hacer uso de plataformas como Wikiloc para poder bajar y subir rutas a tu GPS (Ojo con aquellas tomadas con teléfonos).

Reviewed in Canada on March 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

Solid little gps, does exactly what it’s suppose to do. This is my 4th Garmin gps in the last 22 years and the best yet. Very fast to acquire the satellites even in the house under a tin roof. My other older gps and my 2 year old car gps won’t acquire the satellites unless I go outside. I did have to go outside the first time I turned it on but worked in the house every time after that. Garmin’s basic functions hasn’t changed much since 1995. There are a lot of switching pages depending on what you want to see but so did all the others I owned. This is a small screen gps and not a big screen tv so it’s impossible to put all the info on one page. The trick is to play with it and learn it’s as much as possible.
My only major complaint is the instruction manual, it sucks big time. I give it 1 star for manual. I would say it’s impossible for a first time user to learns anything useful about the gps, Garmin sure has gone downhill when it comes to instruction manuals. Thanks to the Internet, there is a useful solution for this. YouTube contains all kind of useful instruction video for this model, enough to get you going out and use it with confidence.
A major complaint I have seen in the reviews is “battery life”, most people find it is too short on two AA batteries. All my older models (3) took 4 AA and the battery life wasn’t that much longer than this unit. The big difference 2 batteries make is the size of the unit. Take my older model Garmin 12XL. Used 4 batteries and the unit was at 30% bigger but the screen is only about 5% bigger. I used to change my batteries every day before heading into the bush. I recommend you also order from Amazon a pack of ENELOOP batteries made by Panasonic. You get 4 rechargeable batteries that contains 2100 mah (stored power). 2 batteries runs the unit for a solid 24 hours,(first thing I tested), you bring the other two for spares. Never leave home without spare batteries regardless the type you use.
No downloadable maps is another complaint I read often, if you want topo maps on your gps, do not order this unit, go for the etrex 20.
I did see some videos on YouTube that shows how to download some maps on the unit but I found the quality of the maps were not worth it. I always carry a good quality map and a compass with me, gps or not. Much easier to plot a course with a map and compass then load the coordinates on the gps. I used to hunt in deep bush far from civilizations in northern Canada with gps, map and compass and I can say I have never got lost and have always made it out of the bush. Hope the review helps you.
