Rated 5 out of 5Â by ScoutLeaderSB Great for mapping
I purchased this unit for my Son's Eagle Scout project. He said it is so easy to use, and link into Goggle maps. He is tracking, and mapping a local clubs grounds, so that they may see just where all of their trails are. He is also marking way-points, landmarks, and Trees that the leaders of this organizations want to identify.

I would say go with the Garmin eTrex 30 if you are going to be hunting or fishing, since this unit offer the hunt/fish calendar, tide table and must more. Otherwise, both units are great for Outdoor use. ThanksAnswers

The eTrex 30 has an expandable memory slot into which a microSD* card can be inserted. This card provides the ability to install detailed mapping to enhance the device's internal basemap.It is recommended a standard speed card, no larger than 32 GB, be used in order to get the best performance from the device. Class 4 to Class 10 is considered standard speed.
While considering memory limitations, another limitation is the number of individual mapping segments. Roughly 3,000 mapping segments can be transferred to the eTrex 20 or 30.
The eTrex will pick and choose which map segments to show when the map segment limit is surpassed. It is suggested to transfer additional mapping segments to another microSD card.
*While any microSD card brand should work, Garmin has only tested more common brands such as SanDisk and Kingston.

Per Garmin: The eTrex does not come with a detailed map preloaded to it. In order to have the locations that you are describing you would need to have a map like the US 24K Topo loaded to the unit. This map and all of the others available to use with it can found on the units homepage at the link I have attached below.https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do...
