My new Vista C arrived today and I've been playing around with it in demo mode. Can't wait to get out and use it.

No worries, it's all interesting.

Well, I did it, I ordered the Vista C last night from gpscentral.ca. Should be here early next week. Can't wait.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I was leaning towards the Vista, you just gave me that extra little push to seal the deal. And I do recognize the importance of having a magnetic compass as backup. cheers

I'm about to buy my first GPS (I guess my Garmin Forerunner 301 really counts as my first). It's a toss up between the Vista C and the Legend C. Is the electronic compass and altimeter worth the extra cash or is it better to purchase a good magnetic compass and a dedicated altimeter? I know the difference is only $50CDN but if I still have to buy the separate items it's $50 wasted. cheers Dave Vancouver, BC
