Can't say I'm impressed with the Vista. I'm a hunter and purchased the unit to help me get around in the swamps. Any, and I mean any tree cover obliterates signal. Use=0. Oh, and by the way, the set up is really fun as well.

at Bi-Mart Summary:
This unit is excellent. I used an etrex venture for 5 years, and when it finally gave up, I bought the etrex legend. It has several maps on it, including lakes I visit often. It works well on the interstate, you can look up exits. Another plus is all my cables from my e-trex venture hooked up.

at Best Buy Summary:
I have a several Garmin GPS units GPS III, GPS V, and just picked up the eTrex Legend. I agree with all the posts that it's a good medium feature unit. One drawback to keep in mind is that the PC interface cable is a DB9. I haven't used a DB9 serial cable since the 90's. My laptop has no 9 pin connector (or other antiquated interfaces like a 1.4MB floppy). I think Garmin is a little behind the curve on this feature. If you want to upload maps from CD's, you will have to fork over around $52 American for the Garmin cable, or find a clone cable for around $20.
I emailed Garmin support that I'm disappointed they have not gone USB on a medium feature unit. Customer Service:

at Scheels Allsports in Summary:
For the money you cant beat this unit! Great screen resolution,the paddle makes it easy to navigate scrrens, backlight is bulletproof. The downfalls are small memory, and the Mapsource maps are garbage. Garmin needs to develop better more detailed maps. The unit works well in the boat and in the truck, battery life is better than I expected. If you want to buy a GPS unit for under $200 this is the one to get Customer Service:

at Ebay Summary:
This unit works great when there isnt alot of tree cover,the signal keeps getting lost in the summer,unless im in a clearing,but since Im a photographer,the reason I bought it was so I can get off the beaten track and find more wildlife,I thought the track back feature would help me find my way back,NOT so,the more tree,the more useless I found it,but since I can upload maps to it,and recover the traxks that were saved,it does serve a perpurse,it it worked all the time,it would be great,but it dont.
