Garmin eTrex Summit review

 

Garmin eTrex Summit

Lightweight; easy to use; rugged construction.

No audible battery warning; no built-in trail maps.

A solid tracking device for hiking that would benefit from built-in maps.

Garmin Power Cable

 

This is a great product at a very good price. Note that this version does enable the Garmin to work while other models only act a chargers and the SatNav will not work while they are being used.

Photo and Actual don't match

 

Works ok but only used one day.

Garmin USB to RS232

 

the converter works great, but you would think that Garmin would use a usb instead of a 9 pin on their gps data cable.

Replacement Power Cable

 

Well, this is what it is. I fell in love with my Zumo immediately and needed to install mounts on all my bikes so Zumo and I would never again have to spend a moment apart. This cable is just like the one that came with your unit, and does a dandy job.

Great Home Charge for Nuvi

 

The adapter snaps into place easily and the product works great. The ac adapter allows me to maintain battery life and use my GPS outside of my vehicle. I like to set destinations before I hit the road and use my GPS to locate restaurants and specialty...
