I'm getting ready to purchase a new GPS and have been doing quite a bit of research
The eTrex Vista HCx seems to be the best 'all around' unit for my applications I could find
It's real close to the eTrex Legend HCx except it has a couple more features, one is barometric pressure (not to interested) and a magnetic compass (interesting) that would come in handy
I like the fact that there is a removable memory card and can pick up a one gig chip at Adorama for about $12
The old Garmin '72' (got it when it was new technology) I have is really outdated for what is out there now and is tough to get signals in timbered areas, plus it's a little bulky for what I'm after
Any thoughts or opinions?
