Thread: Good On-the-Trail GPS receiver

Is true Caty, this is (or was) a serious problem: the compass loss calibration quickly, a disagreeable annoyance when in consults of the map or search the correct direction when we're standing. However, it seems to me that the problem has been fixed with the latest firmware, 2.87 beta. Not yet tested in track, but in urban test working well and apparently the problem was solved. Anyway, the operation of the compass is not as smooth as in Oregon and other models, it has not certainly how to enhance.
In relation to the slow processor Giomen is right, this is another downside, a little uncomfortable with raster maps kmz / Garmin. With JNX I do not notice very inconvenient, it is perfectly usable. Besides Etrex 30 I also have an Oregon 450 that I really like: it is faster, no doubt, has bigger screen, is tooch screen .., great for trails one day or two, but when it comes to survival, for long adventures in the forest or in high mountain, for the reasons I have already explained previously, I always take the Etrex 30.
