Yes great timing. I just purchased this model from you and I can’t wait to get out there and start using it, and take advantage of the library of training videos etc. that you also provide.
Alan, many thanks for supporting GPS Training, it is appreciated. I am a big fan of the 32x, have you seen my 'walk and talk' with the unit - ruclips.net/video/PSQIjbO3qDs/видео.html
I downloaded some of my local Alltrails maps,via Basecamp, to my Garmin 32x. They were downloaded as GPS track files onto the SD card. Can anyone tell me how to use them, when I get to an Alltrails location? Garmin support told me that they should be in my "tracks". But I don't see them? Do I need to be near the Alltrails trail for it to show? ( That...I am not) Does it appear as an automatic overlay or something, when I turn on Garmin,when I am at trailhead? Help please!
Hi, just ordered the 22x but am now unsure if it records routes walked so I can later upload to Garmin Express (I think) and then onto Strava. Can handle having to connect to PC to do this but am unable to find any info if you can save the route for a later upload. Any ideas? Thanks
You are able to save your activity with a Garmin eTrex 22x.

Can you choose to get height from GPS instead? At least on the odometer. I have an older eTrex Vista HCx and that one can't. Annoys me because 1. one always forget to calibrate the barometric altimeter. 2. Can't at all be used if you want to track your flight. The compass is fine but I wish I got the unit without. Unfortunately compass and altimeter is ususally bundled and a few other features sets 22x and 32x aparts too.
Many thanks for your message. Sadly you can't select how you get the elevation data on the 32x, if you are wanting to get this from the satellites I would encourage you to get a look at the 22x. Do you need the electronic compass There is no real need to calibrate the altimeter as it will self calibrate. Are you finding it is giving you widely inaccurate height data. If you are in the UK, do you want me to loan you a 22x to see if that does give you more of what you are looking for?
@@ukgpstraining Thanks for feedback and thanks for your kindness. I live in Denmark so that's out of the question. The price difference between 22x and 32x is almost non exist looking at online prices here so just about nothing saved by choosing 22x. The 32x also has Ant+ possibility although I'm not sure what to use that for at the moment. Most of all I just want a good allround replacement for the old Vista HCx. A unit which can be used for just about any occasion and can have lots of preloaded maps. The HCx can too but only one gmapsupp file at a time and it show its age at multiple points. Incidentally I already have an eTrex 10 but it's rather limitied and lacks proper maps possibilities. Found it at a dumpster dive along with two eTrex H which was also thrown out. The 10 had leaked batteries (vinegar is great removing that but not many know! - rinse with water afterwards), one H had a intermittent functional button (got resoldered) but common for all - they didn't work properly, gave odd results and time/date was wrong. I digged the old USB-serial adapter from years ago and made an intermistic connector to the serial adapter to the H and got all 3 updated with new firmware from Garmin as there on that time pretty recently had been an update to the GPS system. Cudos to Garmin to keep such old devices still properly working! I'm almost sure they where left unused and then thrown out because of the GPS update and the owner (a school) had no idea a simple firmware update could solve the issue - so thanks for free GPS units :D
Thanks for your question. Sadly Garmin do not produce OS maps for any unit so, as you suggest, you could use the pre installed maps. Alternatively many people use the Talkie Toaster maps - talkytoaster.me.uk/
I recently lost my etrex 30X and I'm looking for a new one. I need the altimeter so I'm looking at either a 32x or a 35 touch. What does the 32x have over the 30X?
Tom, thanks for your question. There is not a lot of difference between the eTrex 30x and 32x, the 32x has Garmin Topo Active maps, larger internal memory and a new screen. I hope this helps.
Hi GPS training. I have a Garmin Colarado 300, been hillwalking in Scotland for years and really only use it for checking location. Is this still a good unit? Was thinking of updating. Thank you.
The good old Colarado 300, I was at an event (geocaching) this weekend and somebody had one, a great unit in their day. Loved the rocker, it kind of came from the the old iPod interface, didn't it? I think the big change you will see is the OS mapping on the screen.

I’m gonna be controversial ; I have one of these and use it occasionally but in all honesty I got the OSmaps app on the iPhone for about 30 quid a year I think and it apes these dated devices. I find the etrex painfully slow and really non intuitive and clunky. I can do routes in osmaps online and they appear in my app- automatically - no cables no hassle.

Yes, on the box things look pretty.. În reality they are worse then a Chinese win 3.x based gps.. a 50 mile route with 20 route points is loaded in ... one hour!

So, thank you for your efforts .. maybe Garmin thinks we all love this products pre-historic electronics and next year will bring up the next modell, level up by technology to the 80th ..

I own a few Garmin products as well as the etrex 32x. I have to say it works as intended once it is set up. It connects to a MAC just fine and .gpx files can be loaded easily via drag and drop. IMO The two main features are that it is small and light, and battery life is very good. Managing your set up well before a trip is the key to any successful trip outdoors.
