Very easy to learn, lots of features

Author's Rating:

Pros: Large, bright display. Just-right form factor. Easy to learn (with or without the manual).

Cons: Pretty basic package; you'll likely need to buy an accessory or two.

Bottom Line:
It's all good with the Garmin, so far. Its interface, feature set and quality are outstanding. Read More at Epinions.com

See new vistas with the Vista Cx!

Author's Rating:

Pros: Good performance, feature loaded, durable in most regards, easy to read, electronic compass.

Cons: No way to disable barometric altimeter, kinda ugly, expensive maps

Bottom Line:
I'd strongly suggest looking at the competition as well, but that doesn't make this a less excellent product! It is definitely an extremely flexible little device~ Read More at Epinions.com

A good moderate priced small GPS unit with the necessities.

Author's Rating:

Pros: Small, light weight, good (but not excellent) reception, great battery life, reasonable price.

Cons: Low quality base map, wish the screen were slightly larger, not good for driving.

Bottom Line:
A good economical choice for outdoor types with all the features you need, but also compare the HCx version for better reception. Not recommended for driving. Read More at Epinions.com
