Garmin eTrex H – GPS Review
Price: £86 – NOW ONLY £68.99
Available from: Millets or Blacks
If all you want is a basic walking/outdoor GPS to slip in your pack and give you an accurate grid reference, then this fits the bill. It is light, robust and has excellent battery life. With basic PC compatibility, you can download routes and waypoints directly to your computer for route planning, but you will have to buy a data cable to connect to your computer. Supports most software, including Memory-Map.
The unit is not Mac-compatible but is WAAS/EGNOS-enabled. The screen lacks the clarity of a colour one – but a GPS at this price, you can’t go wrong!

12 channels, accurate to within 15 metres
10 saved tracks
