Our take on the Garmin eTrex Solar

The Garmin eTrex Solar is a handheld GPS navigator built for hiking and other outdoor trips. Its headline feature is a solar lens that Garmin says gives unlimited battery life in sunny conditions (75,000 lux), backed by multi-band GPS for stronger positional accuracy and a 2.2-inch high-contrast screen. It pairs with the Garmin Explore app for wireless updates, Geocaching Live, cloud storage, weather and phone notifications, and it is IPX7 water-resistant with a digital compass that reads accurately while standing still. Against the classic eTrex line it adds solar charging and multi-band positioning; against touchscreen Garmin models it stays a simpler button-driven device with a smaller screen.

Questions and answers

Does the solar charging really give unlimited battery life?
Garmin rates it for unlimited battery life when used in sunny conditions at 75,000 lux. In shade, heavy cloud or with the screen used heavily, expect normal battery drain and carry a way to recharge.
How is it different from a regular eTrex?
It adds a solar charging lens and multi-band GPS for better positional accuracy. The core eTrex design, button controls and rugged water-resistant body carry over.
Is the screen readable in bright sun?
It is a 2.2-inch high-contrast screen, which Garmin designs for outdoor visibility. It is small compared with touchscreen Garmin handhelds, so map detail is limited.
Can I use it without a phone?
Yes. It navigates, tracks and stores waypoints on its own. Pairing with the Garmin Explore app adds wireless updates, Geocaching Live, cloud storage, weather and smart notifications.
Is it waterproof?
It is rated IPX7, meaning it withstands incidental immersion in water. That covers rain and splashes, not diving or prolonged submersion.
What is in the box?
The package includes the eTrex Solar handheld, a USB charging cable and documentation. Check the listing for any bundled accessories.
Where is the Garmin eTrex Solar cheapest?
At Walmart, for $206.99, as of our latest check.
