5 most asked questions - Garmin eTrex 32x 

Hi John...im a bit of a late comer to gour channel. I bought my etrex 32x about 2 years ago. I tried using the Garmin Base Camp, found it a bit iffy. Last week i typed in the the etrex32x to try and get a better grip of it, lo and behold...up popped your good self !!! Spent an afternoon watching the tutorials on RU-vid, and finally got to understand the garmin much better. Bonus is the OS Planner GPS Training provides, my confidence us now much better ( im a 67 year old and started wild camping 3 years, thanks to Paul Messner, Andy Wardle and Murray from Scotlands Mountain) now kooking forward to hitting the hikls with more confidence ( I'm quite proficient with a paper map and compass, just wanted the convenience of a hand held GPS)...cheers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🥾🥾

Thanks John, very useful info and that’s the one I got with a 1:50.

Thanks for sharing :) Does it have a service fee? Or once you buy it, you have access to GPS service?

Hi just another thought if you cannot afford the OS maps then talky toaster maps are a good alternative.

I have just bought adapters for my iPhone and kindle fire that allows me to connect my etrex 35 to either of them , using your gps software is easier on a pc or Mac but it can be done on a tablet or phone with the adapter.

I found that the 1:25 os map was too small to read on the etrex, better is the :150.
