Guide Review - Garmin eTrex Hand Held GPS
You'll have to look pretty hard to find a less expensive hand held GPS receiver. The Garmin eTrex Hand Held GPS is so small, it will fit into the palm of your hand. Fairly extensive functions (for the size and price) can be accessed by buttons on the side, allowing one-handed operation. The device is completely waterproof, and colored bright yellow to make location from your backpack on on your boat/aircraft easier. The Garmin eTrex measures a super-small 4.4’’H x 2.0’’W x 1.2’’D.
