GARMIN etrex 22X PRICE: £180
The handheld GPS has all but vanished from our rucksacks thanks to the other products in this test. And with Satmap discontinuing their Active 20, it’s Garmin’s market. But if you like the sturdiness and reliability of a handheld, the eTrex series is hard to beat. The 22X comes with goodquality topo mapping; you can buy OS SD cards for £200 (1:50K) or £350 (1:25K) but clearly you can get
OS mapping more cheaply on your phone. So really this is for walkers who want instant peace of mind to back up their paper map.
