Garmin eTrex Summit HC Handheld

Still a good GPS

First remember, If you're going on an adventure that requires a GPS, by all means take a map of the area and a compass. (Plus have an understanding on how to use them)
The Garmin E-Trex Summit HC is a viable tool. Though not produced by Garmin anymore it's still supported by the manufacture and there are multitudes of users online whom have taken it upon themselves to provide a knowledge base for maps & tips.
So I wouldn't balk at recommending any of the E-Trex Legend, Summit or Vista examples. You can find good clean used and/or new old stock that are easily capable to get you on the trail and back to your starting point.
Myself I have the Summit and Vista versions. The Vista can take on external memory plus does altitude. Which btw can get kind of flakey if you don't coordinate things prior to hitting the trail.
These GPS work well on lakes too so you can get back to the hot spot fishing location.
And for you whom are interested in GeoCaching... by all means the Summit is a perfect choice. Inexpensive and rugged. Still a great value.Read full review

Excellent value for little money

I haven't really had a chance to use the Summit yet, but have tried it out in my backyard and everything seems to function well. The sensitive antenna is a vast improvement over my old Vista. I have a large project in the works for this coming fall where I look forward to really putting it through it's paces.Read full review

Older technology, but still works

Works well, but you will need a hack from Garmin support to use older Garmin topo maps with BaseCamp.

Just what I needed

Compact easy to use garmin always delivers

I haven't been able to use this unit yet; but it does upload geocaches and appears to calculate accurately.
