    The best GPS. Work in car, train even in area craft.

    I use this GPS a few years. I cannot imagine, that can be better gadget. It functional in the car, train and even in area craft. It is essential in a new city. Micro card can be loaded with detailed map of any region. I used it in my travelling in North America, South America, Europe. It has outstanding performance. Supply all essential information. For example, I used it for preparation in Italia. In my house in Canada, I marked all my Italian points. I did the same for trip to Buenos Aires. Taxi there expensive for me. We took a bus in aeroporto. It took about two hours by bus. But all time I was monitoring how far bus moved in reference to our hotel. I knew nothing in the city, but when distance between the hotel and the bus become 1000 feet, we stopped the bus. Got out and in 5 ...

  • Most critical review

    Not really very practical as too much info is jammed into too small a screen.

    The screen is overly small and crowded. The functions are quite complex and difficult to learn.The color is nice but the graphics are fuzzy rather than clear. The instrument eats batteries like crazy -- especially when the operator is trying to learn.

  • Reliable GPS

    I use my Garmin eTrex Vista HCX GPS for all my activities, walking, cycling, motorcycle and canoing. It is very reliable, easy to mount and works well in all condition, including rain. Most of my planning, i.e. add waypoints and routes, I do using Mapsource on Windows PC as the device is slow to pan or zoom maps.

  • Older model but solid

    Great GPS to carry in the field. Fits easily in a coat/jacket pocket. The replaceable AA batteries last 15-20 hrs. Lots of features, usual manual available online. Pairs well with Garmin BaseCamp and Mapsource. Not Wi-Fi capable but can be connected to computer with a mini-usb for transferring waypoints and routes to to and from the GPS. The unit locks onto satellites very well even in dense cover and holds onto them well. Although it is WAAS capable, it is not GLONASS capable. One downside of both the Vista HC, HCX and the Legend HC, HCX is that eventually the black rubber "band" that goes around the outside of the GPS will stretch and come unattached. Garmin has no repair for this problem.

  • E Trex Vista HCX GPS receiver

    I've been very happy with this old school GPSr. I have a new Garmin Oregon with a touch screen, but not being a smartphone user, it's taken me some time to learn to use it well. I feel like the Vista gets me closer to geocaches than the Oregon. The Oregon seems to have a delay in its workings that often takes me past "ground zero" and I need to backtrack to the cache location. Anyway, I've been quite satisfied with the older model over the last 8 years.
