well i can't wait my Garmin eTrex Vista HCx should be here by thursday of next week. Any tips for a newbie using a handheld GPS for the first time? I understand you have to get a program to get it to do turn by turn directions but that shouldnt be a problem. Andy |

we have the national geographic US mapping program, $125 from REI. we have a garmin 60CS. always keep extra batteries with you. put a piece of clean packing tape over the screen as a screen protector (or you can buy the fancy kind if you want). good luck! |

I've been using my Vista for several years. They're pre-loaded with bunches of USA and Canada locations. Lemmie know if you need some help with it. I use mine mostly for hunting and we have also used it in the Wrangler several times on and off road. You can get a 12V plug in cord for your vista. Batteries: I use Duracells. I also carry 3 extras. I have the Garmin TOPO Map Source software cd's. I paid $99.00 bucks for them. I wouldn't recommend this software. Unless I just don't 'get' their software, it is a waste of $$$. The TOPO maps are poor for TOPO, actually, they're not. They're more like freak'n Streets 98. Landy |
