    The eTrex Vista HCx is a good little GPS. I bought it for my son to use during a boy scout high adventure camp. He carried it with him all the time and always knew where he was and how to get back to camp. It works as advertised... but the days of these little things is coming to an end.

    Bought this to use in Iraq in the USMC. Used it everyday and still works after 8 months in country with sand storms and temperatures of 130-140. Best gps i ever used, accurate, durable, easy to use. Couldn't ask for a better gps and price.

    Comments about Garmin eTrex Vista HCx Portable Navigator: I use the Vista for hiking and camping. It is the perfect GPS for that purpose. I got the TOPO 2008 Maps and it put the functionality of the device over the top. I had my eyes on the 60cxs but chose the HCX instead.
