ETREX VISTA C PRODUCT DETAILS

 Back to Top
 
The eTrex Vista C is Garmin's exciting, new, pocket-sized handheld that brings color, automatic routing, longer battery life, plus more to our popular-selling eTrex Vista. You won't miss a thing when you take this colorful, lightweight, easy-to-use handheld out hiking, biking, boating or even geocaching. The eTrex Vista C along with the eTrex Legend C are Garmin's smallest, least expensive products to combine a color TFT display and advanced GPS routing capabilities in a waterproof design.

In addition to its distinguishing features - barometric altimeter and electronic compass - outdoor enthusiasts will love the latest improvements made to the eTrex Vista C:
• 256-color, sunlight-readable display makes it easy to distinguish map details and see where you're going
• Automatic route generation, off-route recalculation, turn-by-turn directions with alert tones, and icon-driven menus for finding points of interest (when combined with Garmin's optional MapSource CDs) navigate you safely to your destination
• Longer battery life for more hours of outdoor enjoyment
• Mini-USB port for fast, convenient download of map data from Garmin's entire library of optional MapSource CDs using a PC

Of course the eTrex Vista C still includes those popular features that users have come to love and expect in the eTrex product line, such as a compact, lightweight, waterproof design and user-friendly interface. It is WAAS-enabled, and like all eTrex units, the primary controls are oriented on the side of the unit, so the user can conveniently operate it with one hand. Also, an innovative rocker switch is located on the face of the unit that enables the user to input data easily, scroll through menus, or pan the map page.

Great little GPS. Satellite reception way better than my old Legend. 24 meg memory a bit tight for CitySelect x-country but loads for BlueChart.

Review: I don't own this unit - I own a Vista. I was interested, til I found out (and had confirmed by Garmin) that this unit won't output NMEA. That means if you want to connect it to a laptop you must use Garmin mapping software.

I bought this thinking it has NMEA support since the non-color version of it does. You would think just because they added a color screen, it would have the same features. This limits what I can do with this unit. Luckily I still have my old emap GPS that supports NMEA. I'm really surprised at Garmin, they blew it on this one. Go for the regular Garmin Legend. The Color version is basically useless as a GPS unless you only use Garmin products.

The vista C is great for portabilty and durability, the memory is a bit small for topo maps, but just fine for street maps, locally. I like the colour screen and would recommend a larger memory if you can afford the upgrade like the 60 series. The battery life is good, about 12 hours, with some back light usage. I am currently looking at the 76 series, memory and external antennia capability with a slightly larger screen being the drawing cards.

I bought this unit and the topo mapping software that goes with it and was very disappointed with the maps. NOT topo quality at all. OK for streets in the city but when you get off-the-road you'd be better off with AAA maps! The company said the maps of the National Parks are better but I don't off-road in National Parks.
