@sle1965 I have identical problems with my 1 week old etrex 20 also the "joystick" doesn't register the enter command sometimes!

@PS3KID624 what do you say to them?

Yepp! That's the same symptom I have with my device since yesterday. Everytime I wanted to start navigation the screen to add a waypoint popped up and the system was blocked afterwards.
Even a master reset (hold page button + clickstick and then turn it on) did not help. I will try a firmware update now and will return it for warranty/repair if it doesn't help. My device is now about three years old and it worked perfect until yesterday.

Turned out to be a faulty unit.. I replaced it at the store, and the replacement has worked perfect for many years now. I highly recommend the Vista HCx, the best GPS I've owned. Has all the features you need. I use it in my car, on my motocycle, and on my bicycle.. so it gets a lot of abuse but keeps going strong.

I returned this unit to the store and they exchanged for another (same Vista model) and the replacement unit has been perfect.. no freezing, not a single problem. So must be an issue in their production and I just happended to get a lemon. Make sure if you buy one the store will give you an exchange policy!
