How long does the battery last on the Garmin eTrex Touch?
The eTrex Touch offers excellent battery life with up to 130 hours in standard GPS mode and up to 650 hours in Expedition mode. This makes it very suitable for multi-day hiking and backpacking trips.
Is the touchscreen usable with gloves or in wet conditions?
