Garmin eTrex 10 Outdoor Handheld GPS Unit, Black/Yellow

Product Information

To change these settings, first collect the datum information from your map. In the UK, we use Ordnance Survey GB (OS GB). During my travels abroad I use UTM UPS. In a moment I’ll give you a brief rundown of each of the features and how you can use them. For now, it’s needless to say that the vast majority of the functionality you’re never going to use, unless you’re a serious long-distance trekker and even then, I doubt you’ll use the glut of capabilities. At the same time, it’s good to have the options but I feel that many of them should be hidden away from every day use so as not to confuse or intimidate first-time GPS buyers. Before the switch I always used disposable batteries and in 2018 I changed the batteries twice. That’s not bad considering I used the GPS when I crossed Greenland and after hiking nearly every weekend of the year. Always configure the position format to match that of the maps you carry. Having a super-accurate GPS is useless if you can’t find your corresponding location on a map. Heading

This time it is a very different walk and talk as you join me as I head out on a 62 mile walk along the Northumberland Coast Path with a Garmin GPSMAP 67 to navigate with and a Zoleo two-way satellite communicator to communicate with. No, which is a shame as having eTrex 10 maps would make life so much easier. This GPS unit has a very small amount of storage and no micro-SD slot, and the only mapping you have available is the global data pre-installed. Wear and tear are always considerations when buying something like a GPS, but I’ve never seen the rubber seal fail and I’ve never replaced it. Hats off to Garmin. Metric, staute or nautical. I recommend metric (metres and kilometres) for activities like hiking, skiing and expeditions. GPS Position Format Now open the waypoints menu option and you’ll see those 20 waypoints you configured by hand. You did as I asked, right? You spent hours creating waypoints instead of tusing the desktop app? Cool.In a series of videos we look at a number of Outdoor GPS units and give a simple, practical guide on how each of them works and the navigational experience each of them gives. Introduction video For the first walk and talk I take the Garmin GPSMAP 66i Outdoor GPS unit and put it through it's paces in the Simonside Hills, above the village of Rothbury, Northumberland.

On this walk and talk I take the Garmin GPSMAP 66sr on a walk out to Whiteburnshank, an Outdoor Centre, deep in the heart of Northumberland National Park in Kidland Forest Today, you will concentrate on manual entry and dropping a pin. We will cover the Garmin desktop app in another post. Waypoint Configuration on the Move The 200 is great when everything’s exactly as expected, but sometimes a little more info can be very handy indeed!

Climbing The Dodd and then Puncherton Hill in the Cheviot Hills, looking at the elevation data on the Garmin Epix (Gen2) - 05:11 In this video we go through the process of the walk planning process on the PC/ Mac and then how to load the course into your Garmin Fenix 6 GPS watch.

In this ‘walk and talk’ I head out on the Northumberland Coast Path with the Garmin Instinct 2s GPS watch. The 10 is superb in that it keeps you tied to the map and compass but offers what i think is the utter goldmine of info on a hill - grid ref within 3m The three main areas of the navigation system of the ETrex that I use are: bearings, white points and routes. I’m going to cover each of these in detail shortly but for now I just like to skim across some of the other functions that you can use on this GPS device. The Sunrise/Sunset FeatureIn this video we go for a walk and talk with a Gamin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar GPS watch and look at how to use a Garmin Fenix 7.

Out for a lovely August evening walk, putting the Garmin Montana 700i through its paces on a 11-mile walk, the basics of GPS navigation. Considering the eTrex 10 is a second-generation service, the GPS is incredibly accurate. In a side by side comparison with an InReach Explorer + and a Garmin 64 GPS, the accuracy has proved to be nearly as close to the makr as some of the most modern and powerful devices on the market. After first planning a course on some free route planning software we transfer it to the Garmin Epix (Gen2) using the Garmin Connect App before following it. I bought it for one function only - find sats and - give me grid ref and height - after that - map n compass I like to kid myself that the engineers and designers of this device invoked some kind of dark, technical magic to create an incredibly tough device the shrugs off everything nature and careless hikers throw at it. The reality is much simpler: Garmin have kept it small, rugged and simple.In this latest walk and talk we take the Garmin GPSMAP 66sr for a walk along the Northumberland Coast Path. We look at how to use a Garmin inReach mini2 to navigate with and also how to send messages from a Garmin inReach mini2. The recently upgraded Garmin Instinct watch has some great new features so in this review I take it into the countryside and navigate with it.
