ETREX VISTA PRODUCT DETAILS	Back to Top

The eTrex Vista combines a basemap of North and South America, with a barometric altimeter and electronic compass. The electronic compass provides bearing information while you're standing still and the altimeter determines your precise altitude. The eTrex Vista also boasts an internal memory capacity of 24 megabytes, which allows it to accept downloaded mapping data from GARMIN's MapSource CD-ROMs. A silver case gives this unit a high-tech look. Marine navigation aids are included in addition to the basemap. These navigational aids are pre-loaded into each unit from the factory.

(5 out of 5) TIME PROVEN UNIT Provided by Dale Ireland on Mar 29, 2008 I bought this Vista not long after they were introduced. I think it was about mid-2000. It has worked perfectly. I still use it often and it is still being updated and supported. I think the long production life speaks for itself. Not many electronic models stay in production anywhere near this long.

(5 out of 5) A BIG IMPROVEMENT Provided by mARK on Sep 5, 2007 this one actually works in the woods! i had a garmin emap, but it lost the satellites all the time under forest canopy. the HCx had at least 8 all the hours i was out walking. that's in central ontario (ie, temperate zone) forest. Was this review helpful? (0 out of 0 viewers found this review helpful)
(5 out of 5) Provided by LYNDON LUDDITE from NM The Vista is top flight instrument and I give it a 5 but I cannot understand why the display is amber background with amber characters which makes it difficult to read. The speedometer in my car broke and they wanted over 200.00 to fix it so I just put my Vista on the dashboard and with the big size trip computer page display it is easy to read. I might say that the easiest way to learn its use is to keep it in your car and go thru the meriad of drop down menues and pretty soon you can call yourself an expert. The batteries last me about 10 to 12 hours on a trip. Yes, Yes, I give it a 5. Was this review helpful? (0 out of 0 viewers found this review helpful)
(4 out of 5) Provided by Christian Luebbert from ON Hello all, let me start off by saying that this is a verry good GPS unit. I had to rely on it solely once for route finding when out on a five day trail less hike when thick fog rolled in. Without it, Parks Canada would have had to mount a search and rescue for we were already off course (we knew this because we knew how to use the GPS properly). Overall, great unit. The downside is that you get poor reception under thick canopy and I nearly never get the 3 meter accuracy. More like 6-9 meter. Personally, that's good enough for I can visually see the waypoint within this range (not in the jugle or anything like that). If you purchase the unit, you will not be dissapointed. All other functions work well too (altimeter/barometer). Enjoy Was this review helpful? (0 out of 0 viewers found this review helpful)
