Summary: Great Handheld GPS
Comment: I've been completely satisfied so far. Sensitivity is much improved over the old Garmin that I bought a few years ago. I also bought the North America map on micro SD. It also has been a most present surprise. I carry it in my car all the time to navigate around Atlanta.

Summary: eTrex Vista HCx
Comment: This is the way to go if you ride bicycles, motorcycles, rent cars. The mounts are by far the best in the industry because they are so small and easy to travel with. The GPS is wonderful and this is my third version of the eTrex. The colors are easily seen in day light and the unit is so simple to operate. My suggestion...Buy It!

Summary: Perfect for me
Comment: Bought this for geo tagging my photography and routing on my motorcycle. Both uses are perfect for this device since it is nice and small but still has a readable screen. I bought the navigator NT software and it does a good job routing the roadways when I go riding. I obtained a RAM mount and it sits right on my handlebar when riding and I do not need any voice prompts so the screen gives and arrow and a written prompt for me and it is all I need.

Summary: Excellent product
Comment: I bought this product to replace my Magellan Explorit 150 that went bad (and lost all of my waypoints). I can honestly say that this Garman eTrex Vista HCx exceeded all my expectations. Battery life is great-even with using the backlight for hours at a time when driving on an extended vacation trip the NiMH batteries lasted well over 16 hours. Tracking, backlight, color, maps, features are all great. One problem with my Explorit was it was slow zooming. This Garmin zooms in or out in less than 1 second, very acceptable performance. I love the layout of the buttons and although I was at first glance scratching my head over why the viewing screen was located on the bottom of the unit I understand now-this facilitates very ergonomic one-handed operation. The only issue I experienced was in getting the USB drivers to work on Windows 64 bit Vista. A call to Garmin tech support resolved this. I am a Garmin man now!!!

Summary: HCX: X-cellent!
Comment: I have owned several different GPS units over the past few years both Garmain and Magellan I use them for both navigation and Geocaching. This is one of the best I have seen.
If you already have the maps for the I-Que series, those maps can be used in this unit as well. The colors are bright and easy to read and the turn by turn feature is as good as Tom-Tom or the I-Que.
If you don't already have the maps, it is still worth buying because of the GPS accuracy and strong satellite tracking and quick aquisition. I am very happy with this unit and I would buy another in a heartbeat.
