Garmin eTrex 22x Outdoor Handheld GPS Unit, Blue

Product Information

This is quite helpful if you’re wondering how much further until the top (or bottom), and it’s a feature I wish the RideWithGPS app would adopt too. Per Garmin, here are the differences between the eTrex 22x and eTrex 32x: “ eTrex 32x adds a 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter. Immerse yourself in the details with the generous sunlight-readable color display, providing optimal visibility even in bright outdoor conditions. The loupe is suitable for students, professionals and academics alike, particularly those of you in the fields of geology, gemology, archaeology, antiques dealings, entomology, watchmaking and more. I usually change it when the sun comes up, if I started riding in the dark, and again as the sun goes down.

The Garmin eTrex 22x may be one of your smallest bits of kit but it could just be your most important. With the eTrex 20 you could put the compass or trip computer on and it would not wake with the joystick, but that trick doesn't work on the 32x. Loading Free OSM Maps You can install free OSM maps onto the eTrex 32x, but you might be surprised by how little of the 8gb internal memory you have to work with (see the red bar at the bottom of the picture here). eTrex 32x Maps The preloaded Garmin topo maps have the majority of trails listed and provide good topographic information. It includes a communication via GPS and GLONASS , these two systems give it much more accuracy when locating your location on the map.When riding in the rain, snow, or sub-freezing temperatures, it doesn’t work to mount a smartphone on my handlebars for navigation. Trip Computer Unlike Garmin smartwatches where you start and stop an activity, the eTrex 32x works like a car odometer. It comes preloaded with TopoActive Europe mapping featuring routable roads and trails to explore when cycling and hiking.

At this product page we state compatibility with specific versions of current internet connection devices, for example: PC, laptop, MAC, smartphone etc.For backpackers, especially those who like to explore off-trail, I can see the compass being important too. Garmin eTrex 22x uses buttons on the side of the unit to toggle through the menu, go back, adjust the brightness, etc. With a pair of NiMH AA batteries, it lasts four to five days of both recording and following tracks.
