    I had one of those yellow eTrex's years ago on my boat. It really was a good piece of kit for marking fishing spots, and getting to and from them.

    However, in the bush with overhead cover it was next to useless. Off-loaded it to someone with a boat, and bought a 62S, which is a quality piece of kit. Never heard a bad word spoken of the 62s.

    Over time technology changes, and you need to upgrade your equipment to take advantage of this. Hard to believe anyone is still using the old yellow etrex, especially in the bush.
    If it's outdoors, it's all good!

    Was using mine a couple of weeks ago
    Its an "H" and have never really had a prob with signal, the only time I have is heavy rain mature beach forest and only had to clime a couple hundy meters elevation out of a gorge to get it again.
    I have upgraded to a 62s for the map but that's about it.
    Its got so much crap on it its bloody confusing for a teck tard, all i want is a map and marks and bearing/range to mark!
