j_woodsie Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I'm new to the game and don't know which gps to choose. i'm looking at the garmin etrex vista or the magellan explorist 400. accuracy and signal strength is my main most important concern. mapping, memory, and compass are nice bonuses, but none of that matters if i can't get a good accurate signal that won't stay in trees. suggestions?

I personally havnet had to use Magellan support with mine yet so I cant say if thats a real concern or not, but one thing I can tell you is that the Explorist will get a better reception than the Vista no question and since you asked about that part specifically Im suggesting the Magellan. Any current GPS is going to be a good device no matter who makes it. Quote Link to comment
