[Etrex 20 or Satmap]

Garmins can use OS (Discoverer Maps)

 

Garmins are made for caching, SatMaps are mapping devices, that have been adapted to caching use...

(Some of the lads at SatMap do cache, so are interested in developing that side of the device!)

 

Best advice? Try to get some 'Hands-on' with both units... It may come down to personal preference.

 

edit to add.

Not too sure how well SatMaps work with Macs, Garmin do at least provide Mac compatible software)

 

thanks Bear.

 

Easier said than done though.

i havnt seen an Etrex in the flesh yet, so might have to wait another couple of weeks.

 

i thought there might have been a few more youtube videos of the Etrex. I expect everyone is out caching !

[Etrex 20 or Satmap]

I know this question has been asked loads of times but now the Etrex is out and people are using it, what do you honestly think. I dont know which one to buy..

 

Is the Etrex (20 or 30) as good as the Satmap or is it no comparison.

 

Etrex is half the price I know, but is it worth spending the extra on the Satmap.

 

I love the idea of looking at an OS map when walking. Is the Extrex screen big enough to see where you are on the map ? I intend using it for walking on the Moors and Geocaching.

 

i have a Mac and would prefer be paperless. is he Satmap paperless ?

 

thanks for any reply
