Amazon.com Product Description:
Neither deep foliage nor steep canyons will faze the rugged Garmin eTrex Vista HCx navigator. Equipped with a high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, the unit locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover. The advantage is clear: whether you're traipsing through thick woods or strolling near tall buildings and trees, you can count on the Vista HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most. The Vista HCx also includes a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even when you're standing still, along with a barometric altimeter that 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 to the Vista HCx is easier than ever thanks to the device's microSD card slot, which accepts cards preloaded with MapSource data for your land and sea excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and the Vista HCx will provide turn-by-turn directions to your destination. Plus, the card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you needn't worry about it getting wet.

Besides appreciating its small size, users will also be happy with the Vista HCx's unique button layout, with five buttons located on either side of the unit. The benefits of this design are twofold: First, the Vista HCx is a breeze to operate with just one hand, and, second, with the buttons on both sides of the unit, the bulk of the front is dedicated to the 256-color, sunlight-readable TFT display. This makes it easy to distinguish map details regardless of the time of day.

The Vista HCx basemap, meanwhile, contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national and state highways, railroads, and coastlines--in short, a host of helpful details for your outdoor adventures. Other details include an IPX7 waterproof housing, 1,000 waypoints with names and graphic symbols, a built-in patch antenna, a USB interface, a hunt/fish calendar, sun and moon information, and a geocaching mode. The Vista HCx, which runs for up to 25 hours on a pair of AA batteries (not included), measures 2.2 by 4.2 by 1.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box
eTrex Vista HCx, basemap, MapSource Trip & Waypoint Manager software, USB cable, wrist strap, quick start guide, user's manual.

- Learning Curve
I got lost while hiking a few years ago and decided that I needed to research hand held GPS units. I put that decision off until I started hiking with my kids. After looking at many reviews, I settled on the Garmin Vista HCx. My top priorities were to have a small hand held unit with a highly sensitive GPS receiver (since most of my walks are in forested areas). After thinking about it some more, I thought a color display, the ability to add detailed maps, and a compass would be nice. The Vista ... Read More

- This baby rocks.
A month ago I replaced my old Garmin Etrex Vista with the new Etrex Vista HCX. My old Vista was great, except when I was in heavily wooded areas or rocky canyons---in other words it was worthless to me as a GPS but priceless at the front entry as a door stop. The new HCX has solved this problem, but I may have to go to Target to get a new door stop as I sold my old GPS.

I can now hike in very heavily wooded, mountainous and deep rock canyon areas in central and southern Mexico and not ... Read More

The Garmin etrex Vista is every thing promised. Seems to work great, But for me it demands some study and learning.

- Easy to use
Bought one for my trip to California. Was a bit put off by the reviews that said it would be hard to use, I think it is very intuitive and has worked great for be. If you use a mac you need to convert the maps using Mapconverter in Windows, which will generate a map file that you can use on the mac. This might be considered a bit of a hassle.

The sensitivity of the GPS is really good, mine localized satellites even when indoors. Battery time is superb.

Only drawback was that ... Read More

- Waste of money
After two weeks it stopped working - wasn't able to acquire satellites. Amazon gave me the money back.
