THis great unit is like brand new. Selling for my Aunt who does not smoke, unit has so scratches and was rarely used--List price on the web about $220 new and we would like to sell here in the forums rather than evilbay.....Yes, the USB cable and wrist strap are included. $160 (shipping not incl.) This is a great unit. From Garmin's site -- Deep foliage, nor canyons faze the rugged eTrex Vista HCx. Its high-sensitivity receiver holds a GPS signal in the toughest environments. Similar to the Vista Cx, this handheld navigator also has a bright color screen, barometric altimeter, electronic compass, microSD™ card slot and automatic routing for wherever adventure takes you. Enjoy Clear Reception With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, eTrex Vista HCx locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear — whether you’re in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on Vista HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most. Get Your Bearings The Vista HCx 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. Expand Your Memory Adding maps is easier than ever with Vista HCx's microSD card slot. Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource data for your land and sea excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Vista HCx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet. Take It Anywhere Like the rest of the eTrex series, Vista HCx is lightweight and compact — the perfect size for all your travels. Other Vista HCx features: Waterproof, so it can withstand the elements or an accidental dunk in water. Crisp 256-color, sunlight-readable display makes it easy to distinguish map details — plus, it looks fantastic Fast USB computer connection so you can transfer waypoints and other data to your computer eTrex Vista HCx: Lock onto the great outdoors.

Oregon 450 and waypoints in caches
Steph2472 replied to Steph2472's topic in GPS technology and devices
As you probably already know, the PQ comes in two pieces, and the "child" waypoints come in the [somepqnumbername]-wpts.gpx file. That leaves us to ask - what are you doing with that file, and how are you sending the caches from your computer to your Oregon? If you are using GSAK (recommended for a variety of reasons), you'll need to be sure to check the box for "Include additional child waypoints" = "Yes" and "Include..." = "All children". Thanks for the response...I am actually just putting the files (gpx) onto the device...I use a Mac, so limited gsak options....Maccaching does not seem to work anymore with my 450... -
Okay, so the Oregon 450 is a great device, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the other waypoints - like parking areas, etc to show up on the device when adding caches....I have seen the "P" for parking on screen shots so think there must be a way...or do we think they have to be added separatly as waypoints from the cache page (manually and change the icon?) Any help would be great.

FS: Garmin Legend HCX with City Nav 2009
Steph2472 replied to Steph2472's topic in GPS technology and devices
Any takers....Took off ebay?? Would like 140 for this great unit.... -
Just posted on ebay
-
Know it will work on the Garmin... But will I have to download the cartridge on a PC to get it loaded on the Garmin?
-
I am in B.C Canada (west, I am closer to Alberta than the coast) Can you tell me the shipping cost from my address? Or can you give me your address in a PM so I can look up what that would cost?
-
OK...how about OBO?
-
Yep, wanna go paperless....have a Legend HCX but really would like to upgrade to not carry my iTouch out in the woods...They are all about the same price on Amazon right now. Any strong feelings about one over another...I am certainly having trouble trying to decide.
-
[Do you know what the shipping would be to get it to Canada? Are you on the East or West Coast?
-
Looking to sell this unit for $190. Had about a year. Works great. No scratches
-
I agree if you are in USA, but Canadians need to pay an extra $25 to get it to work here from what I understand so that brings it to $90, which is above my budget, thanks for the suggestion though, if I were in the US I'd probably have jumped at the offer. I could send it with the latest Canada update
