Garmin eTrex Summit HC Handheld GPS
I purchased a Garmin GPS some years ago when they were rather new to the market. I have to say that I did not find it very useful since it needed a very clear view of the sky in order to get a fix (and even then it was slow), and it consumed batteries at an alarming rate. Things have clearly moved on a lot, and the Garmin eTrex Summit HC Handheld GPS proved on my recent trip to the Dolomites to be a reliable and useful aid. It established a fix quickly and reliably, and could maintin this

No Regrets
Been using this GPS for about four years for walking the Wainwrights, mainly to record the 'as walked' route and download to MemoryMap software package after the event - for this purpose the GPS has been excellent. Sometimes I will plan a route using MemoryMap on the PC and upload this to the GPS (very easy to do) and the GPS can then be used to navigate the route. The GPS functions are very easy to use. The most useful for me have been 8 figure grid reference display (gives additional

Excellent basic sat nav
I upgraded from my older version of the summit, and am very pleased with the updated model.

I carry a paper map, which is a much better navigation aid than a little screen, and use the GPS for double checking my position,

Don't forget to count in £150 mapping software, this does not replace a map or a compass.
The Summit HC has proven useful for geocaching and following waypoints for routes marked only by GPS, however this does have it's flaws at the same time.The Compass does not work, full stop. I have calibrated it many times with little success. It will never show your real direction. Ever. I was on the Isle of Skye follow a way-marked trail in 5 foot visibility, and managed to walk myself onto a thin ledge leading to nothingness and a very steep fall because I was following the Garmin

not impressed
i was really disappointed with this product.the mapping that comes with it is very poor, not even showing the main A roads near to us. the maps that you are then forced to buy are incredibly expensive. it is not compatible with other digital mapping systems. we sent it back for a refund. if you are planning to buy this product, i would suggest you do your research, including how much it will cost you to make it useful to you with suitable mapping.
