Here is what people are saying about the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx Handheld Reciever with Built in GPS Patch Antenna
4 Star Rating  "Maps"2009-11-21
- Reviewed By User: ATNR56HS0K7C7
I don't own this product, although I do own 3 other Garmin GPS units. When I saw that this unit does NOT come with a map, that maps have to be purchased separately, I decided that I don't need the unit. Between the cost of the unit and the cost of the maps, it's too expensive for what I'd get out of it.
Garmin makes good products, but their customer service in all areas is sadly lacking.
 
4 Star Rating  "Beginner and vista hcx"2009-11-01

--If you are new as I am to this type device, it is going to take patient practice and focused reading to get comfortable with it. After all, this device is essentially a computer calling for point by point feature mastery.
--As with any keyboard, so with the 5 buttons and rocker switch: I had to get past the frequent error of hitting zoom instead of the "menu-find" key. No problem now.
--I am happy with the precision of the device. In my experimenting, if I walked around a tree, the tracking showed the circular loop.
--In finding a spot I had marked as a waypoint or on a route's endpoint, I am very happy with the guidance and closeness of the final arrival.
--Currently it serves the simple needs I have, which maybe says I could have done with a simpler model. I use it for deep woods nature location work. It works nicely under trees. Out of curiosity, I walked right through my house with it and it kept tracking.

----The map provided lists only major highways. The county road by my house isn't there. When I went to the website, I don't recall seeing a map for the northeast US at the detail level given the rest of the US, and wondered why. I noted a review saying a map download takes 24 hours. Given my household, I'm not sure I can reserve the computer that long! I have to explore further to see if Garmin sells preloaded SD cards. I welcome comments on that. My rating is 4, not 5, based on some map disappointment. I have no knowledge of other gps's for comparison, but the device itself seems an ingenious product--again, for my needs.
 
4 Star Rating  "One rugged, dependable GPS. Worked very well, though it takes time to become comfortable using this GPS to its full potential."2009-10-30
- Reviewed By User: A3C0AYML49DPYY
I was looking for a GPS for my trek across Ladakh (Himalayas, India). This one fit the bill well and the purpose too. Here in India, forget about downloadable maps, we do not even get printed topographic maps of that area (but for the Olizane editions). So I pre-fed the GPS with coordinates that I took from Google Earth and Wikimapia. The GPS has an altimeter which was a good thing to use in the mountains. Navigation was easy, reception is good, battery life is good (I used Duracell), body is rugged (it fell with quite some force twice on tarmac, getting only a few scratches on the screen and body), but it takes time to become comfortable using this GPS to its full potential. For the price at which it comes, I think its a good deal for someone like me (at best I go for two long treks a year). I have not been able to use it or test it for city driving - which is really difficult in this part of the world (Delhi, India). But I would highly recommend this for trekkers looking for a rugged, few frills, for the purpose GPS. Does the job very well!
 
4 Star Rating  "Great but...."2009-10-27
- Reviewed By User: A34UQJ1BZRU5Z1
Ultimately I love this unit. The features are great and once you learn your way around the interface it is a joy to use.

The downsides; if you want separate maps it will be costly. I understand that Garmin is simply passing on the price of the mapping service it buys them from BUT they could make the unit accept third party maps, thereby driving down the price. Also GPS's at this price range usually include street maps so I would think they could have a lower price for this model since it does not include street maps out of the box.

After a year or so the glue that holds the soft rubber going around the side of the unit "disintegrated" It turns out this is a common problem with this GPS model and Garmin will fix it for you if you send the unit in. I didn't want to go without my GPS that long so I tried MANY different glues to try to reattach the rubber but nothing has worked so far.

Overall a great little navigator but probably priced too high.
 
3 Star Rating  "good features, but not as one would think for the price"2009-10-23
- Reviewed By User: A2U7NJF9FOSE0K
After doing quite a bit of research, I decided to buy the Garmin eTrex Vista HcX,
which basically seemed like the top of the line for a hiking/handheld GPS.

Although all the features are there, not all of them work as effectively as one would hope.
I bought also a topo map of Germany.
Negatives:
Transfer time for about 10% of the map from my computer to the GPS took over 3 hours!
So VERY slow data transfer.
Also scrolling on a highly detailed map is very slow. One has to wait several seconds (8-10), for
the new part of the map to be rendered.

Also the least important negative. This GPS is mainly for hiking, but it does have a road routing function.
Where supposedly it can give you road directions to go from some point a to b.
This function is embarrassingly bad, where I either the system cannot compute this, or gives some crazy route
which is 4-5x longer than some obvious route one would pick. I didnt actually buy the system for this routing
function, but including it with the GPS when it functions so badly, is just embarrassing.

Positives:
Otherwise the etrex Vista does what it says. Its a good detailed GPS, color screen, compass, pressure gauge, altimeter, and does have the claimed battery life.
 
5 Star Rating  "Dog training aid"2009-10-19
- Reviewed By User: A4E751LLMCJRF
I replaced my original etrex with this Vista and am very impressed with the great functionality of the new unit. I have not yet downloaded any maps but use the base map when I am conditioning my hunting dog. I can accurately track the distance I have walked and assume that the dog has covered about three times that distance. Now I know that when I have covered a mile in the field, the dog needs a rest. As a result of working him within his limits, he is more responsive to commands and hunts better.

Now I look forward to downloading some maps so I can find a lunch spot after the morning hunt.
