Summary: Just Didn't Work
Comment: I purchased this for geocaching. When I tried connecting to a computer it just wouldn't work. Tried several machines. Same result. So I just sent it back to Amazon. I have experience with another Garmin unit and loved it so I'll try getting another model. Maybe this was just a lemon.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Works Great! Highly Recommend
Comment: I received the GPS sooner than estimated and it has performed up to my expectations. It powers up quickly and after using it for over a month it has been accurate over the trails in both distance and elevations. I definitely recommend it.
The only reason I did not rate it a 4 is the Garmin MapSource Topo U.S. 2008 did not come with it, but I knew that when I purchased it. After installing the Topo U.S. it will be a solid 5.

Summary: Refurbished had to be sent back and replaced
Comment: The Garmin eTrex Vista CX Color handheld works great EXCEPT that it will not power on without taking the batteries in and out each time you turn it on. It was a reburbished one with a year's warranty from Garmin. Seller told us to return it to Garmin. Garmin has given great service and we are supposed to get a replacement in a week's time.

Summary: Garmin eTrex Vista CX Color Handheld GPS
Comment: This is a great little handheld GPS for hiking and geocaching. Has a micro SD card expansion slot which is perfect for upgrading the maps and using the eTrex as a USB flash drive. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars because it does lack on the getting satellite locks while inside buildings and loses satellite reception if you put it in a pocket. Other than that, if you are in the open or hiking through the trees, this is a perfect inexpensive GPS for hiking and geocaching.

Comment: My Garmin Vista continues to amaze me with the different ways we find to use it. As I become more familiar with its functions I see how useful it really is- for fun and for information. Thanks for a great product.
