| 132 of 136 people found the following review helpful  Decent, but Expected More, By Allan (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Garmin eTrex Summit HC Handheld GPS Receiver (Electronics) I bought this unit for use on hikes, bike rides, and other similar outdoor activities. I've had it for a few months now, and overall, I'm only somewhat satisfied. Here's a list of pros and cons that have stuck with me so far:Pros: -easy to read/see color screen (even in bright sunlight) -highly customizable screens (types and amount of data shown on each screen) -fairly easy to learn and operate -many features, including barometric altimeter and electronic compass Now, the cons to this product may not be specific to this unit. It may be more a function of the limitations of GPS: -inaccurate (sometimes highly) "tracking" of horizontal position or trail actually traveled (I've compared to trail maps and Google Earth visible trails, and some of my tracks are inexplicably way off) -inaccurate barometric altimeter (sometimes hundreds of feet off. I've turned it on, and had elevation readings of -200 feet!!) which must be...

Supplied Software and MAP: 9.5/10 Overall : Justifies the cost paid. Other Advantages: Power Supply: The best part is that it is powered by 2 AA cells which can be obtained anywhere. We can use chargeable cells. Electronic Compass: Though does not function well, when unit is stationary, but extreamy helpful. You don't have to carry a compass. Altimeter: Very good feature. I found it pretty accurate. Final Reccomendation: Go for a slight higher range model which has SD card slot. For daily users, this model is more than sufficient. 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful  Garmin Summit is great, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Garmin eTrex Summit HC Handheld GPS Receiver (Electronics) In the summer I spend a lot of time on my horse in the Colorado Wilderness Areas. And yes, I have a way of mounting the GPS unit on the dashboard of my gelding. After 4 years hard service, my Garmin Legend quit. Improvements I found in my new Summit are impressive: color, faster satellite acquisition, and map orientation that matches the orientation of the unit. This last is possible only in the Summit which has the electronic compass lacking in other GPS models from Garmin. The commands are more intuitive and it works better in timber. With the new cable and drivers that came with the Summit, I was able to use my old MapSource CD to load contours. |
