Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, great built-in map Cons: No rechargeable batteries, not waterproof, buttons not backlit
Let's get one thing out of the way: I LOVE my eMap GPS receiver.
That said, there are plenty of things you should know about it, and a few things to watch out for. I received the Garmin eMap for Christmas and I have purposely held off until...
Pros: Inexpensive, Large Screen, Many Accessories available Cons: Battery Consumption, No built in memory, Non-standard flash memory
The Garmin Emap GPS is an excellent starter GPS for car travel, hiking, or general direction finding. Although not a complete replacement for a good paper map of the area, with the downloadable mapsource data, this unit will provide you very accurate...
I received the EMap for Christmas and WOW! It let's you see exactly where you are in world. To get highly detailed information though, you'll need the map CD-ROM and the PC connection cable (included with more expensive models).
Pros: Great features, affordable, reasonably accurate, easy to use. Cons: Eats batteries like crazy!
The Garmin eMap GPS system is a great value and directional tool, there is no question about that. I primarily use my eMap for driving and directions, I am not a hunter or anything like that so I cannot accurately evaluate how the unit works in those...
Pros: It's simply wonderful! Very Simple Operation & Data Card slot for unlimited map memory. Cons: Not waterproof so keep it hooked on you if you're walking on water!
I bought the eMap Deluxe which comes with the Mapsource software. Everything worked great for several months and I was thrilled with the whole package. Then the eMap stopped working with batteries (still worked with 12v power adapter). Bottom line, with...
Pros: handy size, reliability, affordable GPS, plentiful optional maps Cons: small display, clunky menus, no trip directions, you have to pull over to use it
I first read about the Garmin eMap in an automobile magazine. I liked the idea of having a pocket sized GPS unit that I could use in my vehicle, but which also could be used while outside of the car for other purposes. I was also attracted to the...
Pros: Very easy to use Cons: No auto-routing, add-ons can add up, battery hungry
*** Update added September 2003, to end of review I love maps and I love gadgets, so GPS has long held an attraction for me. But until recently, the prices have been too high. Not any more. What is GPS? GPS is a set of forty sa ...
Pros: Large high quality display, fast acquisition of sats, VERY accurate, "AutoLocate", self-diagnostics Cons: casing is somewhat cheap
The garmin emap is one of those things that will keep you entertained for a long, long time. Think to yourself... wouldnt it be neat to have a tool no larger than your hand that can pinpoint your location ANYWHERE on earth and then give you information...
Pros: Easy to use, excellent address search feature Cons: Display is sometimes hard to see, Canadian map database missing a number of large cities
The Garmin eMap GPS is just about the niftiest little device I own. In a nutshell, it's compact, accurate, has a friendly user interface, and is unquestionably useful in a variety of personal navigation situations.
Pros: great price point, very accurate and easy to use Cons: not rugged like other gps devices, flimsy serial connector
So I read about geocaching ( http://www.geocaching.com ) and felt compelled to buy a GPS device and try it out myself. I had budgeted about 150 bucks for an entry level unit and had come to accept that this unit would not be able to do street level...
Pros: Very Accurate; ETA feature is a thrill to use! Cons: Ucit takes 1-5 minutes to be "online"
GPS Store.com offers the best deal with hand held GPS. One particular unit I am proud to use is Garmin's E-Map. The unit is sold individually or in a deluxe package. I have bought it individually. For a price of $189.99 it's a steal. The deluxe package,...
Pros: Best basemap among the competition Cons: Eats batteries like Pacman eats dots
When I decided to go on a regional trip in my car, I knew one had to bring a map. However, a map is only so good if you know where you are. So I took a look at GPS. I looked at the Magellan and Lowrance units, before settling on eMap. For the price, it...
Pros: Affordable, small, practical Cons: Not really for wilderness use
GPS devices used to be the ultimate hi-tech gadgets that were not the most practical thing around. Without a grid reference map at hand it was an interesting piece of equipment that only told you your latitude and longitude, heading and speed (and what...
For the past 2-3 years I have been looking for a GPS unit on and off. A friend at work purchased this one and after 5 minutes with it I was hooked! I had used position only units before and had purchased a lower end Magellan unit about 2 years ago and...
I upgraded to the eMap after getting hooked by the eTrex. (See my separate epinion on that unit.) The crucial features for me were the street-level mapping and the included accessories -- Metroguide Mapsource, 8MB cartridge, and serial cable. The eMap...
