Product description of Garmin eTrex 22X GPS

Description summary

Your adventure awaits! The Garmin eTrex 22x is a durable, water-resistant handheld GPS built for any terrain. Navigate with ease on its 2.2” sunlight-readable color screen, featuring preloaded TopoActive maps for hiking and cycling. Dual GPS and GLONASS satellite support ensures a reliable fix in the toughest environments. With 25 hours of battery life, 8GB of memory, and a microSD slot for more maps, the eTrex 22x is the ultimate companion for your next journey on foot, bike, or boat

Etrex 22x is a tracker created for hiking and cycling. This Garmin team offers the proper reading of maps and routes on its 2.2 ´´screen with 240 x 320 pixels.

To get to the desired destination, this team has TopoActive maps loaded. In addition, the device has compatibility with GPS and GLONASS satellites to facilitate tracking on a particular path, making it possible to find the most difficult environments. If you want to know more information, you can download maps and save them in an 8GB memory card that is inserted into the microSD slot. If you wish to have the Bird Eye satellite images, you should only request the additional subscription.

Its operating autonomy is 25 hours and they use two AA batteries. The installation of this device can be done in boats, bicycles, excursions and vehicles for all types of terrains, since these computers resist contact with water.

Explore confidently with the reliable handheld GPS:
- 2.2” sunlight-readable colour display with 240 x 320 display pixels for improved readability
- Preloaded with TopoActive Europe maps with routable roads and trails for cycling and hiking
- Support for GPS and GLONASS satellite systems allows for tracking in more challenging environments than GPS alone
- 8 GB of internal memory for map downloads plus a microSD™ card slot
- eTrex 32x adds a 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter
- Battery life: up to 25 hours in GPS mode with 2 AA batteries

eTrex 22x and eTrex 32x offer the same ease-of-use, durability and affordability that the eTrex handheld GPS series is known for — along with preloaded TopoActive Europe maps. These devices are perfect for quad bikes, bicycles, boats or hiking.

See the way:
- eTrex 22x and 32x offer enhanced 2.2”, 65K colour, sunlight-readable displays. Durable and water resistant, these handhelds are built to withstand the elements.

Explore the terrain:
- The eTrex 22x and 32x handheld devices come preloaded with road-routable TopoActive Europe maps that feature streets and trails so you can take the journey off the grid. Now you can know your surroundings — such as waterways, natural features as well as buildings, international boundaries and more. You can also find thousands of points of interests, including shops, restaurants, universities, car parks and accommodations.

Keep your fix:
- The eTrex series uses both GPS and GLONASS satellite systems so the receiver has the ability to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone. eTrex 32x adds a 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter, making it easy for you to keep your bearings.

Add maps:
- With a microSD card slot and expanded 8 GB of internal memory, you can easily download additional maps for wherever the adventure takes you.

Satellite imagery:
- Both devices support BirdsEye Satellite Imagery (subscription required), so you can download and integrate satellite imagery with your maps.

Find fun:
- eTrex 22x and eTrex 32x support paperless geocaching. Upload GPX files straight to your device, and view key information such as location, terrain and hints from Geocaching.com.

Go anywhere:
- With an array of compatible mounts, eTrex is designed as an outdoor handheld GPS ideal for use on quad bikes or bicycles, in boats or on foot. Use the auto mount capability and City Navigator® NT maps for turn-by-turn driving directions, or use the rugged mount for your motorcycle or quad bike. Wherever you think you might take eTrex, it has the mapping and mounts to get you there.

The Garmin eTrex 22X is a perfect companion for backpacking and bike packing. Easy to use, good visibility. I have to commend the customer service here. My request was processed very quickly. If you read the conditions such as delivery or possibly customs carefully, nothing is a problem. I love it and will definitely continue shopping here. Thanks very much

Aleister

The GPS is very complete. The screen a bit small. Somewhat complex to understand and configure. For spare bike. It is a bit slow when it comes to displaying a map. Wikilock routes are downloaded very easily and by carrying spare batteries you make sure you don't lose your battery as in a mobile.

Excellent Price It's the second one I have

Great simple to use GPS

2022/06/30

Anthony

This is a cracking little GPS that does the simple things really well. When you’re in a snowstorm on a Scottish or Alpine mountain and you need to know “where am I exactly?” forget faffing with apps and smart phones, get the Etrex out and a couple of clicks you can correlate your position with your map. Job done. Superb battery life and AA batteries means you can do multi day trips without thinking about charging blocks etc. The reverse tracking option is amazing, I’ve used it many times to return from a successful summit when the weather turned.

An incredible gps

2021/12/03

Helena

I have been using this GPS for almost two years and at the moment it works perfectly, it is very easy to handle and for hiking / mountaineering the size is very comfortable. It has never failed me and for the price it has it is totally worth it.

Good so far

2021/11/24

Nadya

Received quickly, well packed. GPS works great so far

Good product

Henk

It does what it's supposed to do. The screen is a little bit small to use for a map, but that was expected. I choose this one because I wanted to have the possibility, but I always find myself getting my cellphone when I need a digital map. It´sa nice backup though and mainly bought for all the other options (which are available on the cheaper version too)

Quality gps

2021/09/09

Alberto

The truth is that it is the first time that I have bought a GPS like this and I am very happy with the purchase. I decided on this one because of the comments and especially because of the price that the web gave me. Everything was quick and I am already using it on my bike and hiking outings
