Garmin eTrex Vista C Color Handheld GPS Review
September 30th, 2009
Garmin eTrex Vista C Color Handheld GPS Review from Johannes A Luijten webmaster http://www.wee. Excellent!, I have had the previous model, the eTrex Vista (so not the Vista-C) and the only thing I really missed was the routing feature. And that works just great with the eTrex Vista-C.
Love the screen, very clear.
Nice little “extras” included as well (functionailty wise).
Little suprise: the eTrex Vista-C is a little shorter and a little wider than the older eTrex models. Later I found this to be an advantage; seeing the routing is much clearer to read (more space).
Initially I read reviews of people complaining that the Vista-C did work with theirPC GPS software (iGuidance, DeLorme, etc). Well that is not entirely true; you do however need a little piece of software to get it going. It’s called GPSGate from http://franson.com/gpsgate/ ($14 if I’m right). And it works.
One downside though: the maps (Garmin MapSource) are SOOOO expensive. At least the US should have been included.
