Trusted Reiability (5/5) | Dec 25, 2008 | Jim Monzel | Forest Lake Minnesota US |

My winter passion is ice fishing and hunting. I am constantly in the woods or out on the frozen lakes. I have had other GPS units and with their spotty performance, never got comfortable trusting them. I ended up using a compass many times when I had a Magellan that I wish I never had owned. Getting out of the woods in the dark or off a 30 below frozen lake in a white out is serious buisness in MN. Pin pointing my favorite fishing spots and hunting stands that may be miles back in the woods is also a priority for me. ( There is still an expensive portable stand in a tree somewhere south of Waroad, MN. You can have it if you find it. The Magellan unit I was using failed completely and never worked again. All of my waypoints including the stand position were lost.) I bought the E-Trex on a salesmans recommendation that it will handle the sub zero cold and that it is rugged and reliable. My E-trex is everything he said and more. It works as well at 20 degrees below zero as it does at 70 degrees above. Very detailed, quick and precise. Great backlighting and the features are all there and easy to use once you get accustomed to this unit. The E-Trex is very efficient, accurate and compact. I like the small size and the 1 hand opertaion. The buttons do not stiffen up in the cold. I have yet to try and connect it to a PC. I would expect no less that good results here either. I always carry a compass for safety reasons, but have yet to take it out of my pocket in the 2 years of owning this Garmin E-Trex. I do not have a single complaint and feel totally comfortable with the reliability of this unit. JM |
