Summary: Better than i thought it would be..
Comment: After careful evaluation of several reviews I chose this gps as the one to buy and Im glad I did. I also purchased mapsource US Topo to go with it, for back country hiking, driving or just knowing where you are it will do everything you could ask of a gps. It is accurate down to 7' which isnt bad, itll tell you elevation, speed, verticle speed, direction and a whole lot more. My only gripe is the little screen but I have excellent vision so its not that bad, however someone with bad eyes may find it a stuggle to read the screen if you have the device on the dash of a car while driving down a country dirt road, I love this thing. Dont buy the vista or legend buy this, then by the 512mb card to go into it and then get mapsource US Topo and youll be set. Oh ya, one more thing, more than half of the United States will fit on the 512mb card with detail on high! NICE!~!!

Summary: Venture
Comment: My first GPS and I have had no problems at all. Bought primarily for geocaching, but working well for car navigation as well. Able to get out caching right from the box. Still have more to learn, but has been a great first GPS.

Summary: Excellent unit for under $200
Comment: You cant ask for more at this price, and its got all the features you really need, and leaves out what you dont. (like baro pressure...who cares!)

Note, to use the handle bar mount you MUST use the supplied clip that comes with the unit. The battery cover that comes witht he handle bar mount will not fit, and thats why they include the clip/adapter.

Summary: Love This Unit!!!
Comment: I bought the eTrex Venture after much research. I wanted to be able to get street directions and off road but not spend too much. I already have the Garmin StreetPilot so the street directions weren't a big deal. Well, I bought a 1 gig microcard from Sandisk and could put a second unit on my City Navigator 8.0 NT map that I already had. What is so great is that I put the whole United States on the card and still had little room to spare. It works like a charm. I am amazed that one little unit can store so much information and is so easy to use. Hospitals, shopping, directions, everything is there just like Street Pilot except you get a beep instead of a voice telling you where to turn. If you know its limitations and don't mind not having a big screen, it is worth every penny because you will always have the ability to find anything you want right in your pocket or purse. Battery life is also great. I have used mine extensively since christmas day and still have 3 bars. It is so much more than I expected. Just remember the only downside is you have to buy a map to go with it to make it useful.

Summary: Great Little Unit
Comment: Pretty slick little unit although without some downloadable maps that I found, it would be pretty worthless. The built in base map does not have much detail. I specifically bought it for off roading and the TOPO maps are not locked so they work beautifully.
