Summary: Find My Way
Comment: This GPS unit is great. The battery life has been consistantly greater that 16 hours and even longer when used during the day. The screen is easily readible and the mapping detail is excellent. I am using mine on my motorcycle. I also purchased the 1GB flash memory and the detailed North America City Navigator V8. You can not beat the price or the performance. Very delighted.

Summary: Garmin eTrex Venture Cx Handheld GPS Navigator
Comment: Had a 5 year old unit and this was the perfect replacement. Easy, just took it out of the box and off I went. I thought the navigation would get me within a 15' radius of coordinates but so far it's been better - right on! The color display was a nice upgrade, too. Perfect for Geo caching searches. Looking forwarding to downloading the top map capabilities of it.Also, the company support was outstanding.

Overall the functions, durability and ease of use make this the perfect GPS.

Summary: Do you want to fly with it? Go ahead!!!
Comment: I bought this GPS as a back up when flying on 172 Cessnas (equiped w Garmins 430). Every time has been great! I got the optional case and I clip it to the sunshades. You can download ALL the US airports to it from the internet for free (it's a text file, and you can load it to the unit using the basic garmin map software, 19.95). The unit works perfect and the altitude readings are quite accurate. It even has a Direct To (called Go To)!!! My favorite fuction is the track recording, which makes a path of all your fliight and later download it to the PC with date and actually see on the map where you have been flying that day (worried you have been flying into class B airspace that day? jaja). I trully recomend it. One note, the unit does not work on commercial airliners, guess is to much aluminium around...

Summary: Garmin Works!
Comment: I needed the Garmin eTrex for a train trip I was taking. It follows the train along its path and you can tell at all times where you are on the trip. I found the unit to work extremely well. It takes a few minutes for it to set up, by finding satellites. If you are in a rural area or big city where there is no reception or reception is blocked by large buildings it will come up with satellite lost. It automatically will refind the satellite when it can. It has night time mode which makes it easier to read in the dark. I also used it while walking and in the car. It can tell you how fast the car is going or the train for that matter. If you need a handheld device to pinpoint your location I highly recommend this product. It uses two AA batteries. The battery life is long. I had mine on 24 hours and did not need to replace the battery. It has many other features I did not have a chance to test out, but I am sure they work just fine.

Summary: great device for the price
Comment: I recieved my Garmin eTrex Venture Cx last week and love it. The color screen makes it much easier to read, and the expandable memory slot makes it capable of holding much more information. Although it is annoying to have to buy extra maps to use the unit effectively, it still comes out cheaper than many other units. I plan one using it for driving with City Navigator and a one gig memory stick. I also plan on using it for backpacking with the US Topo Maps. Overall a great product. Also for those of you wondering about the usb cable, almost anyone with a digital camera has a mini usb to usb cable.
