I have a Garmin eTrex Vista HCx that I use primarily for geocaching. I haven't tried using it on the road since I don't have any routable roads loaded on it. Here is my take:
What I like
- Color screen
- Good GPS signal - gets a fix quickly, haven't had any problems maintaining signal in the woods or buildings
- Battery life
Something to consider
- The location of the main control (the mini joystick on the front) almost requires you to use your left hand
- The included Mapsource software is pretty clunky. I usually use the Garmin browser plug-in when loading geocache points or DNRGarmin for downloading tracks, routes, and points.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.
So hows about using that GPS to find your way over to the "Intro" section & let us know more about you? :cool2:Quote:

GC, I use the Garmin etrex vista hcx here in Alaska and I have no complaints. I use mine for just about everything you can use a GPS for. It's great for finding my traps in the dark.
I don't have that model. Mine is a bit older. It's the eTrex original model.
You can go to google earth or any other map with GPS coordinates, pick a spot you want to go to and plug the coordinates into your GPS. It will take right to it. When I get out of the truck, I set the location as a waypoint just in case. I've never had to use it to get back to the truck but I have used it to find my camp at night a time or two.
I have been using the Delmore PN-40 at school for that past few days. I really like it so far, but I have only used it for the short term. I like that you can download the data and info for a cache from geocaching.com directly to the GPS.
I have not used it for hunting and since it is the school's, I probably won't.
I have a Lowrance H20, and the Delmore GPS seems to pick-up satellites better than it does.
Here are some reviews on the Garmin. So far, I haven't found a bad review.

I assume you meant the Delorme PN 40. Here's a review on them.

I really like my Garmin GPSMap 60CSx.
