Garmin eTrex Summit HC Handheld GPS Receiver Review


I'm still trying to install the "Trip & Waypoint Manager" software that comes with this unit. The installation of the software required that I first read the manual, which required, in the middle of installation, that I download Adobe Acrobat Reader. The Adobe Reader installation required that I restart the computer, which caused the computer to lose its place in the "Trip & Waypoint Manager" software installation. So now the Manager software tells me that I need to uninstall it, and reinstall. I realize that many computers already have Adobe Reader on them, but mine does not. Very poor planning on Garmin's part.

The rest of the installation also requires an internet connection.

The Summit itself seems fine so far, but, of course, I can't use some of the features without installing this software.

Buy it here now!
