Any info greatly recieved Thanks FBC I think you will like the eTrexH. The receiver is more sensitive than its predecessor - the eTrex - and, thus, will work better in situations where the view of the sky is impaired. This unit will not be as accurate as the more expensive units in the eTrex series because, based on what I saw in the owner's manual, it does not have WAAS capability. Also, it does not appear to have the capacity to average waypoints. So, if you intend to use this unit to hide caches, you should consider plotting several waypoints for each hide. You can then evaluate each in a mapping program and select the plot that looks best. Quote Link to comment
