Well reviewed. Specially specification part is great. With this i will able to identify which features i need and which not. Garmin eTrex Touch 35t so far better looking for me.

I’m looking at purchasing a GPS for an upcoming trip to South-east Asia. Do you have any recommendations on which one would work best I was considering the Garmin eTrex 30x, or maps to purchase along side it. I see Garmin sells “City Navigator” maps, but we also want to use it while on hikes in the area.

In reply to zulia. Hey Zulia, it really depends on how you are going to use it. There's no one "best GPS" for all situation. If you let me know what your plans are I'll do my best to point you in the right direction.

In reply to Jan. Hey Jan, I don't have any insights for Garmin's plans for the future. What kind of workout are you planning to do? You might want to look into a GPS watch instead.

Hi, I have a question.
I need some small gps with big battery time, but I want to have oportunity to send the workout to mobile phone afterwards. What gps would you recommend? As I understand this cannot be done with Etrex 30x, which would be otherwise ideal. Can this be done with Etrex Touch 35?
Also, do you know what are garmin plans for future? If they plan to do something like Etrex 30 with bluetooth, I would wait.

In reply to Derek Hudson. Hi Derek, All of the devices listed here can be used for geocaching. I would take a closer look at the specs & features of each unit to decide what one is best for you. I personally don't have any experience geocaching but can imagine display size might be an important factor.

In reply to Charles Chandler.

Hi Charles, here’s some key differences that might help you make the decision…

E-TREX Touch 35 t: Slightly bigger display, 16 hr battery life, preloaded topo maps, more built in memory (8GB), Touch screen

E-TREX 30: 25 hr battery life, less memory (3.7 GB), no preloaded maps, no touch screen.

It really depends what kind of backpacking you are planning to do. For long trips the extra 9 hours of battery of life could be useful.

I hope this helps.

Which do you think is a better unit for backpacking
GARMIN E-TREX TOUCH 35t
or
GARMIN E-TREX 30?
