I'm in the process of replacing my beloved Lowrance GlobalNav 200 after a thief nailed my truck while I wasn't looking. I would appreciate comments pro & con on the Magellan Platinum and the Garmin e-Trex Vista.
The MagPlat is physically more similar to the Lowrance, but the small size of the Vista intrigues me. I'm probably more practically concerned with the under tree cover & deep canyon reception of the Vista. Any firsthand users under adverse conditions out there? And what about those small buttons on the sides of the Vista? Are they usable with gloves on?
Thanks,
egli
