Garmin eTrex Venture HC
The Garmin eTrex Venture HC is perfect for the budget-minded, the gadget-averse, or anyone looking for a light, packable device. It weighs six ounces and is roughly the size of a deck of cards. The sensitive receiver can quickly pinpoint your location and automatically correct satellite variations for much more accurate elevation readings.
The Garmin eTrex Venture HC is a hand held GPS unit designed with the outdoor enthusiast in mind. This unit is perfect for hikers, geocachers, or anyone who needs to know where they are and how to get where they are going. If you are wondering if this is the right hand held GPS for you, read on to learn more about this unit's features and capabilities.
The eTrex features a WAAS-enabled GPS receiver that is highly sensitive even if your travels take you inside deep canyons or thick overhead cover. In fact, no matter what the terrain, this unit can get a signal. There is no need to have a clear view of the sky in order to lock a satellite signal as was necessary on older units.
Using the eTrex is easy thanks to the intuitive menu and side button design. It can be operated with a single hand which is great for active users. Mapping capabilities are good and users are able to create up to 500 waypoints and track 10 track logs. The basemap that is included with the eTrex is detailed for a default map and you can optionally load more maps with the 25 MB of memory that this unit features. This device is compatible with all of Garmin's MapSource line of products.
The display on the eTrex Venture HC is a 256 color TFT display that is bright enough to be easily read even in direct sunlight. The screen size is generous thanks to the design of the unit. Battery lifespan is adequate with approximately 14 hours of use possible on a set of batteries.

The Garmin eTrex Venture HC is in fact the entry-level mapping receiver in Garmin's eTrex H-series lineup. With a high-sensitivity receiver for superior reception under canopy, a bright color screen, and the ability to load topo maps (purchased separately), this is an excellent backcountry GPS. Compared to similar hand held navigators, this Garmin model is very reasonably priced for its features and quality. For beginners and general users who don't require the additional features of more advanced units, this model is a good value.
