Excellent
eTrex VistaI have used my Etrex vista for about seven years now. It is awesome. It has no problem performing to a high standard all the time. I run expensive batteries and they last so long. It has all the options you need for for a hand held gps.
I trust this brand as I have seen it being used around the world in harsh conditions and have not seen a unit fail from its own faults yet.
My etrex vista has been knocked around a fair bit. It has been under water been in very hot conditions to freezing conditions. It has not missed a beat.
Great quality. Light weight. Easy to use. Custom Page set ups.
Rugged, Reliable and Easy to Use

I only use rechargeable batteries in my unit and although they don't last quite as long as the 30 hour max life of quality alkalines, I do get about 20 hours. As a pair of back up batteries only weigh 55g, I'm not worried, and my conscious is clear I haven't poisoned some part of the planet with disposables. As with most Garmin units, there is a HUGE amount of freeware software available for this and other units, it's very unlikely you will ever need to purchase the Garmin Map Packs.
