A word on our Garmin eTrex...

I bought this eTrex because it is an older model. I guessed that given the basic features, the battery life would exceed that of a flashier model. However the manufacturers' guide of '18 hours battery life' is fantasy. I (Sally) am responsible for it and it keeps dying while we are on the road. Admittedly a few times like today, I forgot to turn it on before we left (user fail!) So while our Garmin uploads are an indication of our route, they aren't all-encompassing. Sorry about that!
