Rating: - Garmin etrex venture hc gps
A good 'Starter' gps unit. The only real negative i have about this unit is the 24MB internal memory. It gets used up pretty quickly once you start putting maps and waypoints on. If it had a SD card slot if would be perfect for me. The rocker switch is a bit of a niggle if its in your pocket as it can be pressed fairly easily. Apart from that, the button system is easy enough even for an oaf like me to operate with one hand and the colour screen is nice to read. The backlight is adjustable to ease ... Read More
Rating: - How do you follow a good act?
The eTrex Venture HC takes the place of my much-travelled 11yr-old Garmin GPS12 - a hard act to follow. I need a gps just to give location and time/distance info and to store waypoints, tracks and routes. I don't need a more complex mapbase gps unit; however, the eTrex does interface happily with MemoryMap and GPS Utility, giving very useful PC mapping. It holds satellite signals better than the GPS12 in our summer/autumn woods, though I have yet to try it in really wet conditions. Its two AA batteries ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic Product
This is really the best GPS I have ever used. It has a moderate amount of space for maps (20mb - about half of the UK with a topo) and is easy to use as well as unbelievably accurate.
Only thing that may dissapoint you is it's size (it's really quite small) or how long it takes for the screen to refresh (about a second) but as far as I am aware most GPS' take this long.
Fantastic GPS!

I bought this and looked forward to trying it out. Having to fork out another 120 plus pounds for the maps after spending so much on a GPS annoyed me a bit. Lets face it the technology has been around a bit now and should be cheaper. After failed attempts at finding anything useful on the Garmin website (Which can I say is pathetic) I decided not to even attempt to set this up myself and phoned Garmin directly. They were very apologetic and helpful. My map was set up immediately.

Rating: - Garmin eTrex Venture HC
I am the owner of a Garmin geko 101 but having recently acquired mapping software which allows downloading of waypoints to a GPS I decided to upgrade to a newer version. I have not been disappointed. The eTrex Venture HC does not lose satellite contact when under a few trees (in fact it works indoors), has a much longer battery life and considerably more facilities than the geko. In addition its display is in colour. An excellent purchase.
