Garmin GPSMap 60CSx Handheld GPS Navigator »
Now that we had been able to find some caches with the Garmin eTrex Vista CX Handheld GPS Navigator, we had determined that we didn't really like it all that much. There wasn't anything exactly wrong with the unit, it just didn't seem to work as well as it could. After doing a bit more reading, I determined that I'd like to see if I could find something a bit better.
I had originally been looking for something that was small and easy to carry about. Of course, the problem with this is that the antenna is internal. That alone may have been part of the problem, so I crossed of that requirement, and looked again. That's when I noticed that the Vista, though it lists a "high performance" chip, did not have an "extremely accurate SiRF" chip, which is apparently the latest and greatest. Does it make a difference? Heck, I don't know, but if I'm going through the trouble of upgrading, I might as well check it out to see. Inquiring minds want to know.
