Great For Hunting

by wadesam , Oct 25 '00
Pros: Price, accuracy, ease of use, Garmin service
Cons: None considering the product niche and price
With a street price of $140 this is a five star product every day of the week. Now that the military has turned off selective availability (coded intentional degredation of the signal so non-US Military GPS units wouldn't get the best results), this...

Better features for a beginner unit.

by brandle , Feb 02 '02
Pros: Rugged design, good satellite locks, good feature for price
Cons: Can be bulky, older design, GOTO doesn't show feet.
I got my GPS12 this Christmas as a present. It was my first GPS and so far I love it. It may not have all the bells and whistles such as maps and pre-stored cities and waypoints, but it is a powerful little tool.

My father has a Yellow Etrex...

Perfect for the demanding beginner

by prapresident , Jun 03 '01
Pros: Lightweight, super-rugged and dependable, great coverage, upgradable firmware
Cons: Usually ships with no software, cables, carrying case, or mounts
Sidenote/Intro.
Technology amazes me. I work in information technology, and here’s an example; this is the third time I’ve written the “epinion” on the Garmin GPS12 Personal Navigator. Why? The first time, the server just ignored my...

Tool? Toy? A little of both!

by pgifford , Jul 02 '01
Pros: Accurate, easy to use, rugged, waterproof
Cons: No case, strap connects to battery compartment release
Left? Right? I don't know.
Tell me Garmin, where to go.
The true path you'll show.

(Rhyming haiku? Pleh! Must be the root beer talking!)

Just so you know, I did not buy the GPS 12 because I did extensive research into...

Durable enough for 6th-graders, yet performs very well

by Dave70968 , Jun 30 '00
Pros: Inexpensive, good performance, easy to use
Cons: Not as many features as some units, short battery life
My Intro to Engineering class did a project involving GPS; my professor later ported that project to the middle- and high school level as a way of getting younger kids interested in engineering. After going through his course, I was offered a position...

GPS 12: Easy, versatile, and durable

by Tytan , Dec 27 '01
Pros: Compact, durable, easy to use, and inexpensive
Cons: Battery life and no carrying case
The Global Positioning System 12 by Garmin is a powerful navigation tool that is simple to use but advanced in performance. If you are looking for an easy no frills GPS this is your best bet.

Like most men I simply loaded the 4 AA batteries...

So Good That I Have 2

by amcooke , Dec 02 '01
Pros: Good value for the price.
Cons: It only comes in black.
As a sailor (Lake Huron & Georgian Bay), I believe that each system that can save my life, needs a backup. A GPS is one of those things that can save your life and go bad, thus it needs a backup. I purchased the Garmin 12 as my first GPS and had a Loran...

Want to know where your going

by Counselor , Dec 27 '00
Pros: Great Beginning model
Cons: ???
If your an outdoor person, like myself, who loves to explore without really paying attention to where your are or where your going then this pocket sized guide is the unit for you.
It will fit into your pocket, fannypack, or you can clip it on to...
