Advantages: Lightweight, solid, reliable and accurate Disadvantages: Used mine extensively for 2 years and honestly cannot fault.
I bought my EtrexVista a couple of years ago now, and has prevailed as being one of my favorite toys for all that time. Build quality is second to none-surviving gruelling mountain bike rides in harsh weather conditions whilst mounted on the handlebars and still has barely a scratch on it. The soft grippy plastic lightweight construction also makes it a pleasure to use in the wet. Radio reception seems good (works fine on the dashboard of a car in built-up central london, and under wet trees in woodland), and software design/user interface was very easy to get the hang of. I loaded mine with detailed local maps quite easily, and the 24Mb memory seems enough to hold about half of the UK in high detail mapping. Battery life is good (running for at least 48hrs on NiMh batteries), and the serial data connection worked reliably. The software ...
Advantages: Small, Reasonably priced, Easy to use Disadvantages: Route memory a little small, loses signal in pockets
The etrex is a base model GPS reciever designed for walkers, cyclists and other outdoor adventurers. I have had mine for 3 years it still works and they're still making the same one so it must be good!
The screen is large, monocrome and is backlit although this reduces the life of the two AA batteries quite significantly. This screen is easy to read and you can also adjust the contrast.
The casing is yellow with rubber sides and back. This seems very rugged and hard to break.
There is a plug on the back to connect to a PC or PDA. This allows you to upload routes, tracks or waypoints from mapping software onto the GPS. The route memory allows 50 different points along the route. I have found this to be a little small for longer, more complicated routes and have had to to simplify my routes accordingly. Also this plug is easily ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Garmin eTrex
Advantages: Lightweight, robust and easy to use Disadvantages: No interface to the computer.
many reviews on Ciao). After advice from assistants and internet research, I decided on the GarmineTrex Summit.
Of course the eTrex Summit can be used for more than just geocaching. It is intended for long distance walkers of hilly or mountainous terrain. It incorporates an electronic compass to aid navigation and an in-built barometric altimeter. It can store up to 20 routes and up to 500 waypoints.
The eTrex Summit weighs just 5.3 ounces - definitely light in weight. It is shaped rather like a mobile phone and comes with a wrist strap making it very easy to carry.
It is waterproof. Garmin claim that the unit can be safely submersed to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Now, I haven't actually put that to the test but my eTrex Summit has withstood heavy rain and snow and has emerged unscathed (unlike me).
The eTrex Summit requires 2 AA ...

Garmin eTrex Vista Cx GPS Features: Pack more detail into your adventure with the eTrex Vista Cx. This popular handheld navigator has a bright color screen, barometric altimeter, electronic compass and microSD™ card for expandable memory, and it can route you on roads or off, for wherever your travels take you. Expand Your Memory: Storing data is easier than ever with Vista Cx\'s included 64 megabyte (MB) microSD card. Just connect to your computer and load optional MapSource® software to view detailed maps of your surroundings. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don\'t have to worry about getting it wet. You can also use optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource data for your land and sea excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Vista Cx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. Take It Anywhere: The Vista Cx has a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even while you\'re standing still, and its barometric altimeter 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. Like the rest of the eTrex series, the rugged Vista Cx is WAAS-compatible and waterproof, so it can withstand the elements or an accidental dunk in water.
