Review: Recommended - My old Garmin 12 finally died after 25 years of abuse at sea. I looked at several GPS apps, but they're garbage - and how can you rely on a phone signal in an emergency? Simple setup with this Etrex , does everything needed for navigation. Particularly like the long battery life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good in parts!
*by A***R on 16 January 2026*

I bought this to replace a long serving Garmin Geko unit which has served me well for about 20 years, but which has now finally given up the ghost. As you might expect, the eTrex SE is superior in many ways to the Geko, with many more functions, easy connection to the smartphone app, fantastic battery life , excellent screen clarity and fast GPS connectivity, it is a great basic GPS unit for those who carry a paper map and don't need onscreen mapping, I mainly use mine to track mileage and time elapsed, it is far more accurate than a pedometer. Being able to access the OS Grid Reference is invaluable as well, but these functions were also available on the Geko. But my problem with the eTrex and the reason I can't give it 5 stars is - why does it have to be so big and clunky? It's almost twice the size and weight of the Garmin Geko! You would have thought that it could have been smaller and lighter than the models it replaced, the Geko could be slipped into a pocket and you would forget it was there. The screen display area of the eTrex is quite small and only takes up about half of the front of the unit, so I'm not sure why the design is such a backward step. But despite this, the eTex is a well made, reliable and functional device at a decent price and if it lasts me as long as my Geko I'm happy.
