Garmin eTrex 20x

Advantages: Raster maps, locates gps and GLONASS satellites, large memory.

Disadvantages: There is no button lock, the joystick is constantly pressed in the pocket, it beeps, the battery runs out faster, the joystick itself will die faster.

Comment: I bought it in the spring of 2016, for hiking in the forest to hunt or pick mushrooms. It catches satellites well, there were no problems even in cloudy weather. I loaded normal maps, I even made some in the editor myself, so that there were boundaries of hunting grounds. I am satisfied with the purchase.

Advantages: Resistant to mechanical and weather influences. Long battery life.

Disadvantages: Dances with a tambourine for uploading raster maps. No joystick lock. Long scroll of the map.

Comment: I use the device for hiking / skiing / cycling. There are a number of complaints about the device, but in general I think that the model is excellent for its purposes. Cons: 1.1 Uploading raster maps. If you need normal maps and for free, the device will have to be changed, i.e. hack. If you are not ready for this, this is a major drawback. If you are ready - then do not care, because once and not difficult. 1.2 Preparation of raster maps. Certain training is required when working with cartographic software. For me, the easiest thing is to work through SASplanet, exporting additional layers from GlobalMapper if necessary. Perhaps more convenient services have appeared, not in the know. For an unprepared person - a disadvantage. But the prepared one chooses exactly the card that is needed. 1.3 When downloading maps from one source (SASplanet), they are all enabled / disabled at once, i.e. I cannot make multiple maps for one area, ex. topography / snapshot. I suspect I haven't figured it out somewhere, but so far :-( 2. The joystick is not blocked, this leads to the generation of parasitic waypoints. It is treated by switching to the satellite / odometer screen before sending it to the pocket. 3. The raster map really scrolls for a long time.This device is generally poorly suited for viewing, the screen is too small - and this applies to the entire class of such devices. A tablet or a paper map is good for review, which is what I use. 4. I saw in the reviews the remark that it does not show the normal direction when driving through a forest, windbreaking. Well, I don't know if other devices will work better here. The problem is solved in an elementary way - the azimuth was detected by the device, the compass was taken out, the device was removed. Pros: 1. Indestructibility. Invaluable on a hike, because with periodic ass there is no way to pay special attention to gadgets. 2. Long battery life. One set of Eneloop is enough for 3-4 days of continuous recording of a track, from morning until late at night. Incl. in winter, if the device is bosom. It is extremely important for reports, when leaving not for a couple of days, but for a couple of weeks.

Advantages: Frost resistant, used at -25 no complaints. For its money, the navigator fulfills 5

Disadvantages: no

Comment:

Advantages: Convenient to operate. It is not whimsical to low temperatures.

Disadvantages: no button lock.

Comment: In this store I already buy the 2nd navigator, there is only one of the complaints, there is no button lock, when the navigator is in my pocket, the joystick is pressed, because of this, the batteries last for 5 hours.
