E-trex H

Has anyone any experience of Garmin e-trex H in a woodland setting. What
other handheld GPS will work well under tree cover.

I'm very impressed with mine: vastly superior to the standard model. I
regularly do loops of ten miles or more with a lot of woodland without
losing the signal once; on the old one I sometimes ended up with 20 tracks
for one outing.

I replaced my trusty old Geko 201 with an eTrex H when they were
released last Autumn. The H retains lock far better than the Geko.
I've used it in tall fir and broadleaf cover as well as in narrow
valleys and below high rock faces without problems.

I normally download the track after a walk and the Geko tracks always
had 'spikes' in sheltered locations, I've used the H almost weekly
since last year and I don't recall ever having seen a spike on a
track.

Yes, I've been using the eTrex H in woodland for several months now,
see my posting in the 'Hand held gps under trees' thread.
