Another excellent magnification aid produced in Japan, it is suitable to observe sediments, insects, plant material, flat surfaces of rocks, textiles and more. If you can afford the addition of some Ordnance Survey maps, it makes for a great GPS for walking in the UK as this will show you the rights of way. It is perfect to view small objects or specimens in more detail to magnify the surface of objects such as cotton, linen and more. I wanted a primary navigation device that would run on its own power source and not drain my smartphone battery. eTrex 22x and eTrex 32x offer the same ease-of-use, durability and affordability that the eTrex handheld GPS series is known for — along with preloaded TopoActive Europe maps.This wouldn’t be so bad except the cable is “mini USB,” otherwise known as “the old weird USB,” and I don’t have any other devices that use this cable.

Hi, I'm Cris Hazzard, aka Hiking Guy, a professional outdoors guide, hiking expert, and author based in Southern California. If it’s not, you’ve run into a data point limit and need to split the route into sections (can be done in RideWithGPS and other programs). Up next I’ll share my impressions of the design and key features, and who I would recommend the eTrex 22x to (and who I wouldn’t). 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. Head protection is essential for site workers for protection from falling objects or striking against fixed obstacles.

My review summary: The Garmin eTrex 22x is a durable and affordable navigation device for those who want navigation and topographic maps in the backcountry without using a smartphone app. The single UV LED emits longwave fluorescence, causing many materials to emit a glowing effect in the dark. So for me, routes are a "nice to have" in case my plans change and I quickly need to get to civilization or a hospital. The gloves have a heavy split leather palm, thumb and knuckle guard and cotton backed with elastic expander with double fabric cuff. The eTrex 22X can also accept GPX files allowing for paper-free geocaching - no more manually entering coordinates and scribbling down notes, just upload the file and start hunting for caches!
