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. ...
 
My first GPS by eeeeegads on newegg.com Sep 13, 2008

Garmin Etrex Summit GPS by Rich B. on vanns.com Dec 31, 2007

Great little GPS by Renocoyote on amazon.com Aug 28, 2011
I have only owned two GPS receivers prior to this one. A Garmin Etrex and a Garmin Venture. This one is better than both. I like the easy to read screen and the detail it gives. You will have to upload map sets from the Garmin software for the area you ...
 
Great starter GPSr for Geocaching! by Tom Niderost "tominjax" on amazon.com Nov 14, 2009

very poor installation process for Garmin software by M. A. Carletta on amazon.com Jun 15, 2009
I'm still trying to install the "Trip & Waypoint Manager" software that comes with this unit. The installation of the software required that I first read the manual, which required, in the middle of installation, that I download Adobe Acrobat Reader. ...
 
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 ...
 
Worthless without $200 worth of maps by Informed Shopper "hal2007" on amazon.com Apr 12, 2011
Bought this unit to replace an old Magellan that had been purchased years back with topo maps as part of the deal. Reading the reviews and description of this Garmin eTrex Summit HC lead me to believe that you would be able to use the included "Trip ...
