I beleive that all newer Garmin models including the Etrex run on
non-volatile memory meaning that its like a flash card. It does
not require batteries to store data you will not loose any data
if the batteries die out.
True - and a great advance over earlier models!
I've been a happy Garmin user for many years now, starting with an old
single channel GPS38 (which my brother still uses), and a stable of 12XL
models here at work. My own GPS is an eTrex Legend, which apart from
all the usual features has a base map of the western hemisphere (Asia -
Pacific), plus 8MB of uploadable memory for detailed local road maps,
etc. It does all I want it to, plus a lot more, and is reliable.
Selling in the low $AUD300s these days I believe.
