Description
eTrex 30 takes one of the most popular and reliable GPS handhelds and makes it better. Enhanced ergonomics, an improved interface, paperless geocaching and expanded mapping capabilities makes eTrex more versatile and user-friendly, while maintaining its toughness and durability.eTrex 30 has an enhanced 2.2 in 65K color, sunlight readable display. Durable and waterproof, eTrex 30 is built to withstand the elements. It has an upgraded interface and stands strong against the elements – be it dust, dirt, humidity or water, none of which are a match for this storied navigator.eTrex 30 adds a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass, which shows your heading even when you’re standing still, without holding it level. Also added is a barometric altimeter which tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude, and you even can use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions.

Easy to use and small enough to carry in your pocket when not in use. The eTrex 30 replaces my Delorme PN-60 that I found to be rather cumbersome both physically and interactively. Great for hunting, hiking and geocaching due to compact size. Good accuracy and fast satellite acquisition for a mid range priced GPS unit.

This unit has many nice features, but has an EXTREMEMLY weak set of instuctions. It does not come with an owners/user manual. It can only be downloaded from Garmin website. This is a big negative. Once you start working with it, things get better the more you use it. It makes no sense to produce a GPS with all these featues, then make it hard to learn how to use them. I don't want to sound all negitive because it does have a lot of nice featues.

My husband loves it. But it would be better for him to get one with the touch screen feature. Overall, he loves it. He carries around with the GPS.

I bought this product for my husband, who geocaches all the time. He absolutely loves it--has nothing negative to say about it. The GPS is leaps and bounds more accurate than previous GPS devices he has cached with. Highly recommended.
