The eTrex Summit comes on the heels of the extremely popular eTrex, which was designed for both marine and recreation use. This new all-in-one navigation device for the outdoor enthusiast is the first combination GPS, altimeter, and electronic compass. The electronic compass provides bearing information when you're standing still and the altimeter determines precise altitude, so you can tell how high you've climbed and your rate of ascent. Like its predecessor, the eTrex Summit boasts a powerful 12 parallel channel GPS receiver and comes packaged in a small, sleek case with operating buttons located on either side of the unit. The case is completely waterproof to withstand immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Less

Nice feature, poor reception

by skyview18 , Jun 5, 2002
Pros: Small, lots of feature, nice display, detail base map
Cons: poor reception, no memory expansion
The Bottom Line: Nice compact unit packed with lots of features, but the poor reception makes it only when you using it in an open area.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: I bought this unit with Magellan Meridian at the same time so I can do a side-by-side comparison. (See my review for the Magellan Meridian on this site as well).
If you wondering why I pick up the top of the line eTrex along with low end...

Great for Hikers

by kschmidt1351 , Jun 21, 2002
Pros: Great device; fun, accurate, and easy to use.
Cons: Poor reception in deep canyons; no external antenna.
The Bottom Line: What a great device! Smart design, and lots of fun to take with you on a hike. Don't leave home (and head to the wilderness) without it.
This reviewer recommends this product.

Purchase. I bought it last year (Summery 2001) when I started day-hiking in the mountains around L.A. Wanted to buy it at REI for $375, but they couldn't keep them in stock. So I had to pay $399 at a map shop,...
