I can confirm that the Etrex 10 does not have a memory card slot, and that there are no additional maps or extra downloads available for this GPS. It does have a compass screen, although I personally prefer to use the basic interface which comprises a black arrow (me), moving towards the cache, and counting down the distance as progress is made. As mentioned, it is very basic BUT that means it would be foolproof as a “lend out” to beginners, and/or those not conversant with the equipment. Cache details are transferred to the machine in detail, and include hints and logs. It’s a basic load and go machine.
Hope this helps…Hello Dave:
I ‘ve had an ETREX 10 for a couple of years and I’m happy with it. I would describe it as an entry-level, basic piece of kit, but it has always served me well. I’m sure there is no need for me to go over the specs here, because the Garmin page, Youtube and the net have plenty to say in that area. My main points would be that it is very cheap, the batteries last for ages, and the accuracy is pretty good. There are many more advanced models out there, but at around £100.00, the cost is reasonable. The only negative points are that it comes with a black and white screen and no maps – downloadable or otherwise. I would be happy to answer any in-depth points you may have.
