Garmin eTrex Vista Handheld GPS Review & Geocaching how-to
Loading...
Uploaded by bestbuyvideos on Oct 6, 2008
This is a video review for the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx handheld GPS unit and how to use it for geocaching. The review covers key features of this Garmin unit and how it works particularly well with the geocaching.com site to download caches directly to the eTrex. It also shows you the eTrex in action while hunting for a geocache. Lastly, I give my likes and dislikes as well as give you a list of what's in the box.

How do I get it to go straight to map where it says "go to" and it has option for follow road or off road @214.

Great video. I actually picked one up at Frys today brand new on clearance for 49.99. Now I just need to learn how to use it.

I admire this function where you draw out your routes on the laptop and send it to the GPS. Do you know if any of the etrex has this function?

Good video!....I started doing Geocaching with my girlfriend.. We've been using phone Gps's. (Android and Iphone) Not very accurate..Handheld is the way to go, evidently. I did document our first find on Youtube.. Thanks for the review, I've been looking at this model series..Thanks
