Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts on a budget, the Garmin eTrex H GPS navigator helps you navigate your way through the toughest terrain. The unit is equipped with a high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, which locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear : whether you're traipsing through thick woods or strolling near tall buildings and trees, you can count on the eTrex H to help you find your way when you need it the most. And just like the original eTrex, this little yellow wonder is intuitive and rugged, with a lightweight housing that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
The eTrex H is a breeze to use, with five buttons on either side of the navigator facilitating one-handed operation. The four-level gray LCD display, meanwhile, is easy to read in a shade or daylight. And you needn't fret should the weather turn, as the eTrex H is IPX7 waterproof, so it can withstand an accidental splash or dunk in the water and still continue to perform.
Functionally, the navigator stores up to 500 waypoints in its memory for easy retrieval, with names and graphic symbols to highlight the selections. Users will also appreciate Garmin's exclusive TrackBack feature, which lets you reverse your track (up to 20 reversible routes) and navigate back to your starting point. And the automatic track log offers 10 saved tracks (with 10,000 points), along with the ability to retrace your path in both directions. Other details include a hunting and fishing calculator, sun and moon information, and a serial PC interface.
The eTrex H, which runs for up to 17 hours on a pair of AA batteries (not included), measures 2.0 by 4.4 by 1.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Pros: light, small, fast to fix
Cons: No screen to display current position…that’s a must have feature.
Best to get the next model “up”
The only way to know your current position is to make it a waypoint
(storage of which is then optional)
It is a very good GPS and a good price for the people who are looking for basic GPS location.
I didn’t rate DU because I don’t know what that is. My son loves this for just messing around and geocaching. Nice unit!
The eTrex H was purchased for use on a sail boat, specifically to help fix the boat’s position for use with charts. My criticism is that the display of latitude and longitude is done with a very small font on the display, making it difficult to read quickly. Apart from this particular shortcoming, the unit performs as expected.
Purchased this for family use with geocaching. As beginners, it does everything we need for now.
