Lightweight ; sharp screen ; loads of memory
No driving directions ; expensive ; additional MapSource programs are costly
Although the eTrex Vista and its add-on programs may be a bit pricey, you will not find a more feature-packed GPS device in a smaller package.

These products come little software preloaded, unlike the car mounted variant. The cost of the unit plus the software needed to run it accurately is exorbitant

Garmin ETrex Vista HCX
By Andrew (reevoo.com)Read the full review
As a rambler I have used a standard Etrex for 7 years. The Vista HCx acquires sats more quickly, has a better battery life and has a much better screen. Its additional features are numerous and take some getting used to. The important ones for me are the...
The extra features lead to a complex menu system which is probably inevitable. The manual is too concise and a fuller explanation of the features would be useful. The mapping available from Garmin seems expensive.

Manufacturer's Description
Deep foliage, nor canyons phase the rugged eTrex Vista HCx. Its high-sensitivity receiver holds a GPS signal in the toughest environments. Similar to the Vista Cx, this handheld navigator also has a bright color screen, barometric altimeter, electronic compass, microSD card slot and automatic routing for wherever adventure takes you. With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, eTrex Vista HCx locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear - whether you're in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on Vista HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most. The Vista HCx has a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even while you're standing still, and its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use the altimeter to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions. Adding maps is easier than ever with Vista HCx's microSD card slot. Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource data for your land and sea excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Vista HCx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet. Like the rest of the eTrex series, Vista HCx is lightweight and compact - the perfect size for all your travels.
