Review: Excellent value for money - As an entry level GPS unit you can not go wrong with this. I bought this to help navigate walks when I started to struggle using a phone. This is so much easier with a bright screen and superb battery life which lasts months. You have to create you routes in the Explore app first and sync to the device as there are no preloaded maps here. Otherwise a great starter unit that does not cost a fortune or require any subscription costs.
Review: Etrex se - I remember the classic garmin legend, fairly basic but had everything you wanted, this unit is an update of that unit, does everything you would expect and more. But has one or two issues, the internal memory is poor and lacks one or two functions, however for the price very good value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid, simple and reliable GPS.
*by A***N on 24 March 2025*

As a hiker who craves adventure, I often stray from established trails to explore the wilderness, and without a phone signal, it’s easy to lose track of where I am. But with the eTrex SE in my pocket, I always feel confident that I can find my way back, no matter how remote my adventures may be. The GPS accuracy is excellent, providing reliable navigation 95% of the time. The screen is bright and clear, even under direct sunlight, and the battery life is incredible. The eTrex SE is solid, waterproof and built to withstand the elements, which is essential when you’re out in the wilderness. It’s the perfect balance of simplicity and functionality, giving me the tools I need to enjoy my wilderness explorations while always knowing that I can find my way home. It’s become my trusted companion on every adventure! When paired with the app, you can add waypoints, create routes, import GPX routes and check your location on a map even without a phone signal. Information is shared seamlessly between your GPS and phone in real-time. The unit offers a vast amount of information and trip data about your route and location. The screens can be customised to show the information you require. No hiker should be without a GPS unit and for the price, I don't think this little GPS can be beaten.
