The Garmin eTrex 22x is a popular navigation device for bikepacking and backpacking. Here's my detailed review of the 22x, how it compares to the 32x, and whether you should buy either.
Summary: The Garmin eTrex 22x is a durable and affordable navigation device for those who want navigation and topographic maps in the backcountry without using a smartphone app. It has great maps and battery life, but the 22x lacks support for elevation profiles, and the buttons can be fiddly to use while riding a bike. If you can afford it, I recommend the eTrex 32x instead for its elevation profile feature.
