description : 
Klein, leicht, kompakt und äußerst leistungsfähig. Der eTrex Vista HCx ist ein vollwertiges Outdoor Handgerät, das mit einem barometrischen Höhenmesser und elektromagnetischen Kompass ausgestattet ist. Mit der hochempfindlichen internen Empfangsantenne sind Positionsbestimmungen auch unter widrigen Empfangsverhältnissen möglich, wie z. B. in Schluchten oder dichten Wäldern.Ein weitere Besonderheit ist das hausnummerngenaue Autorouting mit Abbiegehinweise.Das brillante, unter Sonnenlicht ablesbare TFT-Farb-Display, kann sowohl im stromsparenden Reflektiv-Modus als auch mit Hintergrundbeleuchtung betrieben werden und eignet sich daher für jede Umgebungshelligkeit. Mit 256 Farben und der extrem hohen Auflösung stellt es selbst Karten hoher Informationsdichte, wie topografische Karten oder Seekarten, gut ablesbar dar.

So so unit

by emjt Monday, July 23, 2007
Pros : Interfacing ability with other electronics. Weight and battery life are most acceptable.
Cons : This unit will not bring you close enough to your mark.
Review : Extremely slow to acquire signals. Typical accuracy is greater than 20 meters. Selector button works

Awesome Little GPS Unit

by shawnft Monday, April 30, 2007
Pros : Very versatile and useful
Cons : too big for some things, too little for other things
Review : This is a great little GPS unit. I have used one, both for recreation and at work for the past three
The Bottom Line : The bottom line is that I would get this if I could only have one GPS for all uses and on a modest budget

Great for finding your way in the woods or when rafting. Good for driving too.

Best All-Around GPS Value

by tiktok4321 Thursday, August 03, 2006
Pros : Color, good International basemap, battery life, easy to use, fast interface, very useful features.
