Imagine that one day, you go to a country where you cannot read the roads signs or understand the language, and the maps are not accu-
rate. This was the experience that I lived from October 6 to October 22, 2002. The country was China. During that fantastic travel, I had
the chance to visit the cities of Beijing, Xi'an, Kunming, Jiuxinang, Dali, Lijiang, Guilin, Hong-Kong and Macau.
For such a great adventure, I bought a basic eTrex, since not a lot of mapping data is available for China. The GPS performed above all my
expectations. I appreciate the long duration of the batteries, the single-hand operation and the clean display. With an eTrex at your
hand, you are guaranteed to find your way back to your hotel if a taxi driver takes you to the wrong place or you simply make the wrong
turn. The eTrex permitted our group to take walks in small streets of China to meet Chinese people where they live and go back to our
hotel without any problems.
The eTrex showed us that we climbed the equivalent of a 57-story building during our three-hour visit to the Great Wall of China!
(N40°16'54,75" E116°04'04,23" 356,8m to N40°16'56,47" E116°03'50,98" 531,0m). The ultimate test was done in the old city of Lijian (N26 52'
25,30" E100 14'19,16"). That place is a labyrinth of small houses. With the eTrex, it was a piece of cake to make a complex walk, without a
guide, out of the tourist area.
