[Garmin Customer service- a 10* experience]

jammun,

 

Strangely, my Vista HCx was just replaced by Garmin. They don't worry about fixing your unit and sending it back. They just send out a replacement as soon as they receive your defective unit. Whether it will be a newly refurbished or new unit is up to Garmin. The entire process took about 10 days to ship-receive-send back. I upgraded the software to the current version and was back on the trail with no problems.

 

Very satisfied with their support.

[Q about vista HCX and geocaching]

Only the cache code, name and coordinates are available. Logs, hints, etc are not available on the Vista HCX that I am aware of.

Wow. $221. All of their units are priced well below other vendors. Implying nothing, but I am skeptical.
