REI Members get back an estimated $ 11.00 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Garmin eTrex 10 GPS:

others have said that it's hard to use and I couldn't disagree more. I got this as a replacment for a Garmin Venture hc and it's so much better. I had the Venture for years and never really figured it out while I had this out of the box, loaded a .gpx track on it, mounted it on my bike and was riding in half and hour. it's simple enough to use the different functions while riding and took a solid hit when I end-o-ed my bike. It's also easy to get your tracks off of to review on the computer or strava

Comments about Garmin eTrex 10 GPS:

I don't know if its because this is my first GPS or if it's really this hard to get used to but I find it really confusing. I've gotten the ins and outs to a point. It is very accurate, and is able to get Geocaching maps but no extra maps beyond that. Over all its good for beginners imo

Comments about Garmin eTrex 10 GPS:

The other reviews here sum up the big downside to this device: It's manual is really inadequate. I knew this buying one, but I was on my way to an unfamiliar area and wanted something to find my way back home should I get lost. I had literally no more than 5 minutes at the trailhead to install batteries (not included, had some in the car thankfully) and learn the device and get on the trail. Overall, I found it amazingly easy to use, having never used or owned a GPS product of any brand before. It kept track of my trail over two days over 18 miles, and the tracks and waypoints load right into google earth. I just left things at default that weren't described in the quickstart manual. Because it's waterproof, it dealt fine with sweat accumulation in my pocket. Why was it in my pocket? Because it didn't come with a belt clip or anything that I could attach it to my pack, not even a $0.25 lanyard. But, hey, you can buy a clip online for $10 or whatever. The biggest issue I dealt with while on the trail and it being in my pocket is the thumbstick would get occasionally pressed a couple times, and it would set a 'go-to' point that didn't have an obvious way to be removed. After futzing with it at a break, menu->"Where to?" -> "Stop Navigating" was the solution. Overall, for what it costs, and what it does for what I want, I give it 4/5, just because of the lack of belt clip or lanyard that really only would cost $0.25 to include and a manual that could suck a little less.

Comments about Garmin eTrex 10 GPS:

Garmin paid me, their customer, a great compliment by believing I could use this GPS with almost no instructions. After five hikes I have figured out how to make and follow a track. I don't know, yet, how to name a route or how to do much else that the GPS is supposed to do. I am an old time GPS user, this is my sixth,but I am very frustrated and dissapointed. With out a good user's manual any GPS is pretty much usless.

Comments about Garmin eTrex 10 GPS:

You'll get a better user's manual with a pair of socks. The on-line version isn't much better. I am a long time user of GPS's, I have 4 on my boat and all have decent manuals. Without the knowledge of how to use, this thing is pretty useless. If a REI store were closer I'd have taken it back after one use but I have finally figured out how to do the one thing I really need, make a track. Might be a good piece of gear but I doubt if I'll ever know.

Comments about Garmin eTrex 10 GPS:

Base Map is accurate but lacks a detailed graphical representation. This product is best used as a supplement to a map and compass.

Owners manual and quick start guide seem incomplete. I downloaded the full owners manual from Garmin's web site and even then there were a few features that were not covered. However, I was able to determine how they worked with a little experimentation.
