Summary: I'm confused
Comment: I've read some of the other reviews and now feel really dumb. I found the instruction manual quite confusing, and I can't figure out how to use this unit. It sure sounds like a great device, but I'm disappointed that I can't figure out how to navigate between two waypoints I somehow managed to mark despite confusing instructions (why don't they label the "mark button" if they insist on referring to it as such??). I hope if I persevere I will figure it out. Garmin's website is of no help either.

Summary: Refurbished had to be sent back and replaced
Comment: The Garmin eTrex Vista CX Color handheld works great EXCEPT that it will not power on without taking the batteries in and out each time you turn it on. It was a reburbished one with a year's warranty from Garmin. Seller told us to return it to Garmin. Garmin has given great service and we are supposed to get a replacement in a week's time.

Summary: Ad is misleading...
Comment: Just got this in today and I already notice 2 problems...

First, the ad states that the bike mounting clip is included and it is not. As this was the primary reason for me getting this, it's a bit of an inconvenience.

Second, Mac users should note that no where in the ad does it state that you can't use Garmin software with the Mac OS. You'll need to get Virtual PC and Windows XP to use their software.

Summary: Some doubts...
Comment: I bougth this unit one month ago.

I really like the color screen, the micro SD Card, and some functions.

But I really have doubts: the reception is not good enough, if I lost reception I have to turn off the unit and turn on again to catch the satellite again. I lost reception very easy, if I am walking in a canyon, or inside a building. Also, when I just turn on the unit, It delays a lot if I was moving. For me It is a very basic GPS no maps preload, only the recreational maps, that's it.

I read that the Garmin GPS 60CXs is much better.

Summary: somewhat disapointing
Comment: First of all, the box arrived in a badly damaged condition, but forunately, the gps inside was fairly well protected.My main complaint is that,despite a ok owners manual,there are so many options and screens on this thing that I consider it very hard to use and extremely confusing.I can't even set the barometer or altimeter,and to try and register with Garmin is an exercise in futlity if you try to do so online.All in all, a cheaper, less confusing, more user friendly unit would have made me happy.
