Product Description
Go on an adventure! Thrill to the challenges of the wild outdoors. Get thee a shrubbery or meander in a mountainous forest. And always know where you are. With the Garmin Vista HCX, you'll never get lost. That makes the outdoor trek safer. Whether you hike, bike, or cruise, you won't lose your bearings. Built for the outdoorsman, the Garmin e-Trex Vista HCx features a high sensitivity GPS receiver, electronic compass and a barometric altimeter. Garmin has introduced a line of e-Trex units that feature a high sensitivity WAAS GPS receiver that are able to receive a signal, even under heavy tree cover. The Vista HCx has a built-in electronic compass to determine bearings while standing still, and a barometric altimeter for increased accuracy of elevation readings, to help you along on your next hunting or hiking excursion. At a tiny 4.2"H x 2.2"W x 1.2"D and only 5.6 ounces with batteries, the Vista won't weigh you down or take up too much room in your pocket or bag. Whether you are in a canyon, under heavy tree cover or in a city with tall buildings the Vista HCx will guide you along safely. Tiny Vista HCx includes the routable Americas Recreational basemap, including major highways, interstates and bigger lakes and rivers. The maps look great on the 1.3 ?x 1.7? high-resolution color TFT display and it is even viewable in direct sunlight. The Vista HCx has a microSD card slot for memory cards that will accept detailed maps from Garmin's Optional MapSource software. With the Mapsource City Navigator North America software you will be able to get visual turn-by-turn guidance on this tiny wonder. Blank microSD cards are available in multiple storage sizes to hold loads of maps. Included with the Vista HCx is a USB interface cable, so map downloads are much faster than traditional handheld GPS units. Garmin has also added audible alarms for off-course, proximity waypoints, and anchor drag. The operation of the unit cou

This is the way to go if you ride bicycles, motorcycles, rent cars. The mounts are by far the best in the industry because they are so small and easy to travel with. The GPS is wonderful and this is my third version of the eTrex. The colors are easily seen in day light and the unit is so simple to operate. My suggestion...Buy It!

Comment:
I've been completely satisfied so far. Sensitivity is much improved over the old Garmin that I bought a few years ago. I also bought the North America map on micro SD. It also has been a most present surprise. I carry it in my car all the time to navigate around Atlanta.

Comment:
I always swore by the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX but now that the updated Vista is out, it is my top recommendation for a small portable unit.
Great software. If you have Topo and City Navigator it has 100% of what you need. Perfect for biking, geocaching, and even used it for driving (small screen though!)
With the updated antenna and firmware, I am even getting GPS fixes inside of my office and home!
Def. recommend.
