Great for Hikers

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2002
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.
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, but it...

Great handheld

Date of Review:  May 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Unless you want to spend another $100 for the color - get this unit. It will treat you well for years to come!
Review: I bought this GPS unit a few years ago after I received some unexpected - but owed - money from my ex-wife. Since I felt it was 'free' money I decided to splurge and bought myself this GPS.

At the time I purchased the unit I worked for a...

The Best Feature-Packed GPS Money Can Buy

Date of Review:  Sep 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a GPS, buy the VISTA, for the very small size and high quality, feature rich package.
Review: After doing a great deal of research before buying a new GPS I concluded that the Vista would be a very good unit. This has definitely been the case. The unit is very small, yet the screen is quite readable. The small size means that you will use it...

Do you really need a built-in compass in a GPS?

Date of Review:  Sep 17, 2003
The Bottom Line: Very happy with it. Great device for outing or in vehicle. RECOMMENDED!
Review: This review is more as comparison to Garmin eTrex Legend which I owned previously.

I bought this device second hand at around US$200 after selling away my Legend at the same price.

Why I wanted to upgrade is just because I want a...

Etrex Vista - The Hand Held Wonder

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: Compact design and loads of features make this GPS receiver a winner.
Review: I have had my Vista for almost a year and I have been extremely happy with it. I bought it primarily to do geocaching, so I would consider myself a casual user. It is loaded with features, too many to talk about here in detail, but I will comment on...
