Garmin Etrex H

£86.00

A ‘get out of jail free’ device that doesn’t cost much, doesn’t weigh much, yet will give you an exact grid reference if you’re lost, and in conjunction with a paper map will point you towards an escape route if you find yourself in the mountains in poor visibility. It will exchange data with a PC if you do your ...

Garmin eTrex H

£86.00

At £86 it would be wrong to expect too much from this unit, yet if all you need is something that will give you an accurate grid reference and perhaps point you to the co-ordinates of the nearest descent route when the weather turns bad, then it fits the bill perfectly. PC compatibility is basic and you need to buy ...

Lowrance Ifinder GO2

£90.00

Has limited PC compatibility via a serial port cable (not supplied). Routes can be planned on Memory-Map, but only the waypoints can be downloaded, which means the route has to be constructed manually on the GPS before it can be followed – quicker than doing the whole job by hand, but very clunky compared to some units. Outdoors, it’s nice ...

Magellan Triton 300 2008

£130.00

Links to a PC via Magellan’s free download VantagePoint software but you need to import your route from Memory-Map into VantagePoint before downloading it. Tracklogs are uploaded in the same way. Navigating around the menus is easy enough with positive clicks as you scroll through the options, but the main control is fiddly to use with gloves on. Easy to ...

Lowrance iFinder Go

£90.00

The low price tag of this GPS receiver makes it very appealing to the walker who just needs to find a location. You get a 16 channel receiver which should in theory get you a fix and hold the fix better than a 12 or 14 channel receiver used in some other units. The 48 hour battery life makes it ...

Magellan eXplorist 100

£70.00

This GPS unit from Magellan is very basic, tough, rugged and black and white, at a very affordable price. There’s no PC compatibility at all, though. It will give you an accurate grid reference on your exact position, and you can also input a route by hand. If all you want from a GPS is something to carry in your ...

Lowrance iFinder Go 2

£100.00

This GPS unit from Lowrance has limited PC compatibility compared to Garmin models. It is possible to download routes from Memory-Map, but it’s awkward and only the individual waypoints are recognized, so you then need to reconstruct the route by hand. Alternatively, you can simply navigate between the waypoints while you’re walking. Otherwise it’s fairly simple to use – even ...
