G'day guys,
I have been looking around for a gps and found a Garmin etrex 20 on gumtree, I was curious to see what your thoughts were on them?
I want one to Track where I have been and to be able to pin point locations.
Thanks.

Keith I have a Garmin Etrex that is 15 years old and still going strong.
you can mark waypoints and places of interest easily
Garmin make good products

Yeh I have had one for about 10 years, they are a very basic unit and unable to store many way points and tracks, but if you want something for peace of mind about not getting lost, they are a good thing. I stepped up and got a C60s or something like that so I could down load all my rabbit shooting maps with all burrows marked, dont think I will be needing those maps in the near future.

Could you use different sd cards? Like have one for different locations for better memory? I'd would be primarily used for not getting lost

I think that they have a permanent internal memory storage, dont think they use SD cards but I could be wrong on that point, I never bothered looking into it as I couldnt hook it up to my lap top.

Did you Bluetooth it to your iWatch instead?
