+SKUNK APE Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I recently purchased the Garmin eTrex Vista CX. With a little flipping through the manual, 2 questions asked in the Groundspeak Forum (answers not found in the manual) and some playing around the house I was able to figure out this GPS enough to do a Geo Cache in a park, with success finding a Geo Cache there. Venturing into the woods with the Garmin was the next trip finding the two Caches and then finding the truck again. Almost like someone guiding you by the hand! I was really impressed with the accuracy that this unit had and the visibility of the color LCD screen in the sun and at night. This unit does have the WAAS feature. I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend this unit. Note: This is my first GPS unit I have used. I was looking for a unit with good or better battery life, color screen, removable memory, weather proof and ability to connect with a computer. I am sure there maybe some others out there that have these features, so please shop it. The only other feature I wanted was the external antenna ability. Maybe the next one When I was ready to purchase I did some surfing and found WalMart online to have the best price. They also had the carrying case and 12v adapter cable I wanted. Hope this helps and happy hunting! SKUNKAPE Quote Link to comment
