+TheCottles Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Im looking at the GPS and have seen the Garmin eTrex 10 and 20x. There is about £70 difference and I wondered if there is a lot of difference aside of the colour screen? Thanks L x Quote Link to comment
+noncentric Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Personally, if you can afford the extra money - then I would suggest the 20x. The 10 is very limited. I read through a lot of threads when I was first looking to buy a GPSr and I ended up getting a 20, which was the version before the unit was upgraded to 20x. Here are some threads that might be helpful, although most of these were before the 20x and so they refer to the 20: etrek 10 vs. etrek 20 Etrex 10 vs 20 Etrex 10 or Etrex 20? Etrex 10 Garmin eTrex 10 Would an Etrex 10 work for my situation? Etrex 10 - Decision, Premium? Quote Link to comment
+Meow&Purr Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I read through multiple threads and other websites before buying and we went with the 20. The color screen is VERY nice and helpful with icons and sometimes telling where a greenspace/park/etc ends and other property begins. The memory/Micro SD slot is very valuable vs the smaller internal memory of the 10 You're not just using it once or twice, it's a long-term purchase. We spent the extra and are very glad we did.

+GeoTrekker26 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 If your budget is a concern, which I can relate to, you might consider looking for a used eTrex 20. I did a quick check on ebay and found a few for under $100 USD. You probably can find similar items closer to you. Quote Link to comment
+TheCottles Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Brill, thanks everyone, I ordered the 20x Quote Link to comment
Raven-N-Bear Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 My wife and I are looking into buying a GPS as well. How does the etrex 20x compare to the etrex 30x? Is it worth the extra upgrade? Quote Link to comment
