My first hiking GPS and it is perfect for keeping track of distance and time hiked. Loaded a free 24k topo map from GPSfiledepot along with the free program basecamp for PC from Garmin and it does everything I need. While there are many advanced options available on this unit I only need the basic functions such as distance, time, tracks and waypoints which are easy to figure out. Battery life has been excellent and I am very pleased with this gadget.
UPDATE--after 1 year and 10 months of use my etrex has developed a dark horizontal line across the upper screen. Still works great but is hard to read sometimes. the line is always there powered up or not. checked on garmin website and it states a one year warranty BUT it appears that they are going to maybe replace it with a refurbished model for me. We will see, waiting on them to contact back. One thing of interest I learned is that even if your unit is out of warranty and you break it they will replace it with a refurb for $89 shipped with a 90 day warranty. Still love this unit though.
UPDATE--Oh well, not under warranty after all. I wish the screen had of lasted longer but the unit is still usable and I still love it. Not sure the refurbished unit is a good deal with only 90 day warranty.

eTrex
Find Fun
eTrex supports geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. eTrex stores and displays key information, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and paper printouts.
Keep Your Fix
With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, eTrex locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.
Go Global
The eTrex series is the first-ever consumer-grade receivers that can track both GPS and GLONASS satellites simultaneously. When using GLONASS satellites, a system developed by the Russian Federation, the time it takes for the receiver to 'lock on' to a position is (on average) approximately 20 percent faster than using GPS.

日本地図は
「gmapsupp-JAPAN-OSM-with-contour-DEM10-utf8」を使い
約3GBサイズは格安(1000円以下)で購入の32GB-microSDに入れた。
なお、日本語化はネットに色々あるので、一度で出来ない場合もあきらめず違う方法を参考に試行錯誤し、やっと成功しました。ので３日間も費やしました。(^_^;)
eTrex20+の使い勝手は、
機能（メニュー）が奥深く、未だ迷いながら使っている。
記録を活用(保存)するためカシミール３Ｄ(フリー版)のGPSの所を使い、
行動先のポイントを設定してはeTrex20+に入れて最小限の機能を楽しんでいます。
eTrex20+も、カシミールも
なかなか自分の目的に合った説明をネットで見つからないので
自分に合った使い方に慣れることとします。
内蔵CPUの能力が高くないので地図スクロールが遅いことや、
ルート検索に時間が掛かりますが、片手で操作出来る頼もしい相棒になりました。
特筆出来る優秀な点は「晴天下での視認性」です。
画面の小ささは老眼に辛いが、慣れると心眼で読める。
視認性の良さは他の携帯端末を遙かにしのぎます。
電池はNi-HM充電池を使用（エネループの黒2450ｍAhをおすすめ）
ネックストラップ(100均)で首から提げて歩き始めます。
なお、FWはVer.2.50でした。
