Garmin eTrex 22x Outdoor Handheld GPS Unit, Blue

Product Information

New for 2019, the Garmin eTrex 22x rugged handheld GPS device is ideal for use in various outdoor activities including walking, hiking, geocaching, cycling, mountaineering, in-car, boating and fishing. eTrex 22x offers ease-of-use, durability and affordability that the eTrex handheld GPS series is known for — along with preloaded TopoActive maps. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will add value to my readers. The eTrex uses an uncommon mini USB port for data transfer, which means another cable to keep track of.

It comes equipped with a transparent waterproof hood that can be closed and fastened with a Velcro fastening.It comes preloaded with TopoActive Europe mapping featuring routable roads and trails to explore when cycling and hiking. The eTrex devices support BirdsEye Satellite Imagery (subscription required), so you can download and integrate satellite imagery with your maps. An excellent loupe manufactured in Japan, which uses doublet optics with achromatic design to significantly reduce abrasion in your field of view.

The Garmin eTrex series is the go-to for outdoor adventurers in need of rugged and reliable GPS navigation on both roads and backcountry trails.The eTrex trip computer screen is customizable, and by default shows common values like distance traveled, current speed, elevation, moving time, and stopped time. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. eTrex 32x adds a 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter, making it easy for you to keep your bearings. The gloves have a heavy split leather palm, thumb and knuckle guard and cotton backed with elastic expander with double fabric cuff. I’m also an avid backpacker, and though I don’t use my eTrex as often on foot I’ll touch on its usefulness for other types of outdoor adventures too.

With an array of compatible mounts, eTrex is designed as an outdoor handheld GPS ideal for use on quad bikes or bicycles, in boats or on foot. Even if the mount is solid, I’d rather have my phone tucked away safely in case I happen to crash my bike. It is perfect to view small objects or specimens in more detail to magnify the surface of objects such as cotton, linen and more.

The eTrex 32x uses the electronic compass to support “Sight ‘N Go” navigation, in which you to point the device at a landmark in the distance and then navigate to it by compass. I highly recommend watching the video earlier in the article to see these navigation concepts in action.

I wanted a primary navigation device that would run on its own power source and not drain my smartphone battery. This is in no way intended to refute using a dedicated nav device, merely an option for those that really love using their smartphone but are worried about having a backup. The eTrex 22x and 32x handheld devices come preloaded with road-routable TopoActive Europe maps that feature streets and trails so you can take the journey off the grid.Some hikers and bikepackers may be wondering, with all the good smartphone apps out there these days, why even bother with a dedicated GPS navigation device? With an array of compatible mounts, eTrex is designed as an outdoor handheld GPS ideal for use on quad bikesor bicycles, in boats or on foot. If you come to a junction or waypoint on the route, the eTrex will wake and give you a little alarm. But where I often bikepack and backpack, climbs and descents define the rhythm of the day and help me plan where I’m going to be when.
