The Best Budget Outdoor GPS unit - 2023

[@michieltummers1303]

For most purposes the Etrex SE might just be the best imo

Hi John I’ve got the 65 did i make a mistake should have got the 65s

Sadly so, you raelly do need electronic compass on a GPS unit, this video takes you through why - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5qlg2pmg5KpiZYsi=laGNttbOqf5Xqb1h

Kayak-er here. The buttons on my Forerunner 205 finally fell out rendering it useless and not water tight. I'm really just interested in time, distance and speed as a training tool. Thinking this might be the way to go. Any other budget units I should consider ? Thanks.

[@ukgpstraining]

It sounds like the eTrex we would meet all your requirements, a cracking little unit. Here I am out with it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/epmvnoKvZt-dn5osi=MrgRxKPnDsMP7LUT

[@911truthzone4]

I just need it to show the starting point so I can get back to my car. I went for a walk in Cheshire and we got a little lost.

[@ukgpstraining]

Any unit will do what you are wanting, we call this a 'tracback' in the world of GPS navigation. So if you are not bothered about having a map on the screen just go for a Garmin eTrex SE, this video looks at that unit - kzbin.info/www/bejne/epmvnoKvZt-dn5osi=1F43j49MzBM3qwhH

[@Scottgatton]

So the SE doesn’t have the ability to upload pre made maps of a river and it’s channel? Bought it for an ultra marathon and doesn’t seem to have the map features I was looking for

[@ukgpstraining]

You are correct, this video may help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/epmvnoKvZt-dn5o

Hi do you think that a fenix 7 watch could replace your hand held gps.

[@ukgpstraining]

If you are doing a long distance trail/ ultra event etc a watch will work, but with the lack of OS maps on a watch you will struggle. If you watch my ‘walk and talk’ with the EPIX you will see me try and fail in open hillground (9 mins in) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYC2mmWaequKd6s

[@nicholashoward2696]

What if you installed talky toaster maps on the watch would that work.

[@nicholashoward2696]

I had a fenix 5 a few years ago and you could install OSmaps onto it, but garmin changed the maps in their newer maps.

[@FlyWithMe_666]

I think you put a little too much importance on the electronic compass. You should have a rough idea where you are anyway, and if not sure just walk a few steps and the GPS compass will do its job. I don’t know a situation where I absolutely needed an electronic compass. The 22x is significantly cheaper than the 32x in retail and would be my first choice for budget GPS, also over the SE due to its lack of maps.

[@x118xdriver182]

I agree used a 22x on a 35 days trip off grid and you just walk 10 steps and the screen direction updates really not a problem

[@jonnysegway7866]

background music too loud

[@ukgpstraining]

Thanks for your feedback, it is appreciated.

[@donlee3168]

What would be appreciated is if you re-uploaded it with quieter music

[@MickH60]

@@donlee3168 Grow up mate....

[@solocyclist3993]

Extrex 32 has 16 hours battery life not that good iam afraid and be carefull what battery you put into the unit.

[@anthonyhaycox1561]

Excellent info - only marred by the distracting music.

[@ukgpstraining]

Taken onboard, the 2024 review, coming out in the next month will have no music, I promise!

[@DhampireGirl12]

I feel this vid is incoherent I wish you showed one product at a time with a spec on screen With these adjustments i would return to your channel Thanks :)

[@ukgpstraining]

Many thanks for your feedback. The idea of this video is to give you an 'overview' of the products then I encourage you to take you on a 'walk and talk' with the product you want to know more about. i.e. want to know more about - eTrex SE - kzbin.info/www/bejne/epmvnoKvZt-dn5osi=Suf6BBVWQtXyA4DQ eTrex 32x - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXe9lIxol7N3aq8si=O5l74mcUAzOr9Y2t GPSMAP65s - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2Sof6Ckr8aMqZosi=cb8K6Od1C0FaHOcg Then if you then to want even more, the 5 most asked questions we get asked about - eTrex SE - kzbin.info/www/bejne/apmwY3SAna6beJYsi=fL3zo-MMb_nJ7xe- eTrex 32x - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWqaeHp-nteKn80si=gRhM4GyPbKB8tRj6 I hope this helps and all the best for the festive season.
