The little GPS engine that could

by paradaxiom , Jan 2, 2007
Pros: Small, sturdy and very usable.
Cons: Tiny memory card. Unlock code: tiny piece of paper. Calculated routes sometimes border on bizarre.
The Bottom Line: Although this device has some quirks and limitations (see review) I feel that it is highly usable and has worked out great so far.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Ok, so I got this one for Christmas from the in-laws. I usually research my little tinkertoys religiously, but while I had ogled GPS devices before, I had never looked into them seriously before because of cost.

So here are my thoughts...

Nice feature, poor reception

by skyview18 , Jun 5, 2002
Pros: Small, lots of feature, nice display, detail base map
Cons: poor reception, no memory expansion
The Bottom Line: Nice compact unit packed with lots of features, but the poor reception makes it only when you using it in an open area.
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: I bought this unit with Magellan Meridian at the same time so I can do a side-by-side comparison. (See my review for the Magellan Meridian on this site as well).
If you wondering why I pick up the top of the line eTrex along with low end...

Great for Hikers

by kschmidt1351 , Jun 21, 2002
Pros: Great device; fun, accurate, and easy to use.
Cons: Poor reception in deep canyons; no external antenna.
The Bottom Line: What a great device! Smart design, and lots of fun to take with you on a hike. Don't leave home (and head to the wilderness) without it.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I love my eTrex Vista.

Purchase. I bought it last year (Summery 2001) when I started day-hiking in the mountains around L.A. Wanted to buy it at REI for $375, but they couldn't keep them in stock. So I had to pay $399 at a map shop,...
