Garmin has scored big.

This product is the best thing I have ever seen. I use it for everything from driving to school in the morning to hiking in Glacier National Park. It is accurate, fun, and reliable. I would suggest getting the car accessories for it.

If you are going to get a GPS, get the Vista. Don't waste your time with any of the smaller memory E trex. You will be frustrated that you can't download all the topos that you want to. Go big and be happy.

One of the best featureson this unit is the trip computer feature. It has every stat you could ever need about your trip. It's great for guys who are concerned with "getting there" on a trip. It lets you know down time and average speed. Average moving speed. Average everything. It has maximum speed for those who like to push the envelope and ETA for when the kids say "are we there yet" or "when will we get there" you can give them a time that is accurate to within a few minutes most of the time.

If you buy the E-trex Vista you will not be dissatisfied.
