eTrex Vista HCx......Iam waiting for it to go on sale...
Right now I have a Meridian GOLD witch is very nice I paid around 400 for it 7-8 yrs ago(i think)..
But the problem is I now have windows Vista and All the downloads for GPS's are still windows 98 or xp so I cant download without going to a friends house(i live in the middle of nowhere).....
I feel for the price of 299 with digital compass and all you need to do is plug a topo chip in or street map chip it is more user friendly...
have you ever checked this site out?
