Garmin eTrex Vista HCx
The Garmin Vista HCx brings a new and high sensitive receiver to Garmin's popular line of eTrex handheld units. It features a small GPS receiver and navigator with a color screen you can hold right in your hand. The HCx is based on the original eTrex Vista, the color Vista C and the Vista Cx, which brought expandable memory to the eTrex series. Now it has a high sensitive receiver, although unlike other previous Garmin units, the high sensitive receiver chip is a MediaTek 3.
Vista HCx has been designed for outdoor use, such as on the trail, hiking, geocaching, and biking. It can also be used for highway use, if you purchase the Garmin CityNavigator maps. Overall, the unit operates nearly identical to the Vista Cx, with just a few minor changes. The only feature change in the HCx is the ability to customize the routing color. Garmin has also upgraded its line of eTrex models with color screens and the high sensitive receiver, including the eTrex Summit HC, which includes an electronic compass and altimeter, the eTrex Venture HC, which does not have a card slot, but a limited amount of internal memory and does not have the ability to give road navigation, and the eTrex Legend HCx, which is identical to the Vista HCx, except the Legend does not have the electronic compass or altimeter.
The Garmin eTrex Vista HCx compact high-resolution TFT colour display handheld GPS device accepts preprogrammed microSD cards for adding optional maps on the go. It is enhanced further with built-in electronic compass and barometric altimeter. In fact it's your personal guide to adventure and provides exceptional handheld GPS navigation in a lightweight, waterproof and compact designed GPS handheld navigator that runs on two AA batteries. The Garmin eTrex Vista HCx stores up to 1000 waypoints and 50 routes, and has five main pages.
Satellite Page appears only at start-up and shows the GPS receiver status, satellite locations, satellite signal strength, and the receiver's current location. Map Page shows a detailed map of the area around your current location. Compass Page guides you to your destination. Altimeter Page tracks elevation and pressure. Main Menu contains advanced features and settings.
With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep valleys. The advantage is clear - whether you're in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on eTrex Vista HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most.
The Garmin Vista HCx has a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even while you're standing still, and its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use the altimeter to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions.
Adding maps is easier than ever with Garmin eTrex Vista HCx's microSD card slot. Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource data for your land and sea excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Garmin eTrex Vista HCx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet.

It is also similar in features to the Garmin 60CSx, which has a bigger screen and different shape as well as quad helix antenna. The HCx is a handy small GPS unit, with all of the features that seem to be on the market right now. It is definitely a highly recommended device, your personal guide to adventure.
