Like This GPS by R. Hubert "Happi Henry" on amazon.com Mar 4, 2012
Got this as a replacement for an older Garmin GEKO (which died last year). Greatly appreciate that they upgraded the things which needed upgrading - better battery life (now uses 2 - AA instead of those useless AAA), better sensitivity, and better screen. ...
 
Garmin eTrex Summit GPS: There's Summit about it by LegendaryMrDude on dooyoo.co.uk Sep 8, 2003
I won't go into the details of how GPS works as there are a number of reviews round these parts that do a good job of explaining it. What I will do is explain why, after two years, I decided to upgrade my trusty old (bright yellow) Garmin eTrex to a shiny ...

Summary: This is by far the best GPS out there. The price is right, very accurate, easy to use, built very well, and gets you there and back with no questions asked. Garmin makes the best GPS's by far.

"Just get the GPS 315." by stevecox25 on cnet.com Aug 13, 2002
The Etrek Summit is Stupid. It is like the Kiddy GPS. It is for beginners that never heard of GPS and are just buying it because they saw it on the news. The Magnellan GPS is much more accurate then the etrek summit. Once I was doing a Scavenger hunt ...
 
Total waste of time and money by Gringo on amazon.com May 21, 2011
I bought this to replace a nice 60Csx that I lost overboard. The description on Amazon said that it was great for navigating on the water. Then, when I finally got it, I found out that their definition of navigating "on the water" means a very few inland ...
