Rating:  - Disappointing and limited lifetime
I bought this device two years ago for occasional walking in the UK. Firstly, the positive: it will tell you accurately where you are as a numerical display, with an option for displaying your OS (Ordnance Survey) grid reference, and display tracks, distance covered etc. It has decent satellite reception under tree cover, in gullies etc. You can upload tracks to your PC and import them into other mapping applications (such as Fugawi 1:50,000 OS UK digital maps, which work well for me).

Rating:  - okay!!!
I needed an inexpensive GPS for geocaching so, after a little research I eventually decided on the Garmin eTrex Venture HC.Mostly because my sisiter has a similar model. It has a number of features and is fairly easy to use once you figure it out [paper instrustions not very in-depth],Has colour screen and All readings to date have been within 10 feet or less. looses signal under dense tree cover.
Its size is very handy and built quite sturdily. The supplied software is easy to use making ... Read More
Rating: - Check the memory
We bought this to replace an earlier model that we managed to drop down an inaccessible cliff in Devon. However it turned out to have much less memory built in than our old model. All we could load was around 7 maps which is no where near enough for us. Sent it back and ordered A eTrex Legend HCx which has a slot for a micro SD card. with a 2 GB card we can now load a vast number of maps. Given that the price is not much more it is worth considering paying the extra. Just for the record any garmin ... Read More
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 eyes and ... 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 seem ... Read More
