The Garmin eTrex 30 handheld GPS device is the enhanced version of the Garmin eTrex 20, about which we did a full review. The main differences are that the eTrex 30 has a barometric altimeter, a 3-axis compass, wireless sharing and costs another $100 retail. The dimensions, weight, maps and memory are the same. The eTrex 30 has a grey rim around the face of its black body; the eTrex 20 has a red rim.
Check out the full review of the Garmin eTrex 20 and the Handheld GPS Review where we compare the top GPS devices.
