gryphonsmoon Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) I've read through the forum here and read what I can find elsewhere. Even looked at the Garmin comparison pages. Can anyone give me a good comparison of these two units? Pros/Cons, etc. Primarily looking for geocaching, but want a good general purpose GPS. These two are very close in price and seemingly in features. The one big standout was battery life. Thanks! ---Bill Tuttle EDIT: Should I have posted this in Getting Started instead of here? Thanks.

+DENelson83 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The 76CSx, the model I use, has a S★III high-sensitivity receiver chipset, and it meets my geocaching needs quite well, plus it floats on water, in case you want to go boating and want some piece of mind that you won't lose it overboard. I still don't trust that the Vista HCx has had its odometer bug fixed, so if you want to be sure that the odometer readings you get are accurate, the 76CSx is what you should get.

ben_r_ Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 With all the known issues with the Vista HCx I suggest you go with the 76CSx or the 60CSx and never have to deal with any of the problems so many others have wih the Vista HCx. Quote Link to comment
+storm180 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 It seems the consensus is we always fall back to the 60CSx or the 76CSx. Both are very well proven in the field. Even with me owning a colorado, we still carry the 60CSx with us while we are out since the reported innacuracy bugs in the colorado and in HCx models Quote Link to comment
