Editorial Reviews:

Deep foliage, nor canyons phase the rugged eTrex Vista HCx. Its high-sensitivity receiver holds a GPS signal in the toughest environments. Similar to the Vista Cx, this handheld navigator also has a bright color screen, barometric altimeter, electronic compass, microSD card slot and automatic routing for wherever adventure takes you.With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, eTrex Vista HCx locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear - whether you're in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on Vista HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most.The Vista HCx has a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even while you're standing still, and its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use the altimeter to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions.Adding maps is easier than ever with Vista HCx's microSD card slot. Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource data for your land and sea excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Vista HCx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet.Like the rest of the eTrex series, Vista HCx is lightweight and compact - the perfect size for all your travels.

Summary: garmin eTrex
Comment: This is an excellent product. I had an earlier version of the vista - this is a huge improvement. Very fast satellite acquisition, and with a 2G microchip, I can store lots of maps. I just wish Garmin had a 24k map set for Montana.

Summary: Can't reach the support...
Comment: I called in for a support regarding the Topo map (SD card size difference) but I couldn't get through. Their phone system kept ask me to hold for half an hour! I gave up and going to return the product.

Summary: Where's the Maps?
Comment: I bought the Garmin Etrex Vista HCx unit to go geocaching with my boy scouts and I have been seriously disappointed... The unit is not as accurate as I had hoped and does not contain detailed maps out of the box - additional maps are REQUIRED! Way to go Garmin Marketing Monkeys you have made the unit useless out of the box! I would suggest you put a warning on the unit that states the basemap is not accurate and additional maps are required for accuracy greater than 500 feet.

Summary: Garmin HCx GPS
Comment: Very Durable and useful GPS. I have owned one for almost a year before it was stolen from me. During that time it has been dunked, bumped, dropped, crammed in bags, and on for extended periods. This GPS is a workhorse. We use it for offroading, Geocaching, and hiking. My family has never been disappointed. It is both simple to use and very accurate with it's readings.
