In just a couple of posts, Andy has pretty well summarised it for me regarding the electronic gizmos.
As for the Etrex range it is just that - a range.
Garmin are very cute at bringing out a new model of nearly all their products at regular intervals (they are far from unique in this; the whole computer-based business has followed the same marketing model for many years).
The net result is that there are quite a few models of Etrex so you would have to start down the road of doing your own research, sooner or later; after a while that gets tedious, which is but one reason why I stick with my really old Nuvi Garmin combined with smart phones/tablets (running the free apps) "as and when".
And, I have never managed to give up reading maps; they are so much more intellectual. ;-)
