EtrexRose

I have the yellow Etrex and the Etrex Vista. Actually the Vista is my brothers but anyways... I can attest to the bad reception with the Vista. It takes forever to get be rdy to navigate unlike my yellow Etrex which takes 30 secs or less. The yellow etrex performs much much more efficient under trees and bad weather. While I was looking for a geocache under heavy trees, my yellow etrex worked like a charm while the Vista continually said poor signal, need clear view of sky. The yellw etrex is great for geocaching and backpacking and lots of other stuff, it has the most bang for the buck. Or go for the sport trak which has the same memory as Vista and supposidly works way better!
