users of a GPS will always install a custom map anyway
are no cell sites or it is a dead spot for the internet
series looks like a plain mobile phone
Topos aren t preloaded
Its display screen is small and is not touch-sensitive
Some of the features can be a little confusing
lack of free maps remains the same
Long battery life Will no longer interface with Google Maps
barometric altitude is not that reliable either
older-style mini-USB port
battery meter is only available as this little image with 25% notches
you CANNOT transfer data wirelessly to the eTrex from a phone
a bit of a hiccup
You cannot charge (rechargeable) batteries through the USB port
Does Losing Weight Make You Taller
lack of high speed USB 2
it s a bit wordy
Confusing OS
Poor compass response
slow processing maps
eTrex30 is overwritten and corrupted
very difficult to hide the geocahing points from the map
The toggle stick is kind of annoying
wilderness safety is to never rely solely on any kind of GPS device
accidental taps may end up recording waypoints or otherwise altering your settings
not have a touchscreen
30x can sometimes run a bit sluggish
Without a touchscreen
it s not a device that comes loaded with features
this unit does not have any expandable memory slots
the included documentation is somewhat lacking
there are no maps included with the eTrex 10
the interface seems rather clunky and a little dated
the lack of GPS coverage
the reality is a little more complicated
lack of a touch screen
Some maps can even be transferred directly from Google Maps
