Amazon.com Product Description: An essential for any outdoor excursion, the Garmin eTrex Venture HC helps you navigate through the toughest terrain. The unit is equipped with a high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, which locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear: whether you're traipsing through thick woods or strolling near tall buildings and trees, you can count on the Venture HC to help you find your way when you need it the most. At the same time, the Venture HC's easy-to-use menu lets you create and view waypoints (up to 500), save and view 10 track logs, access setup features, and more. It even offers 24 MB of internal memory and a detailed basemap, so you can load waypoints and routes from the included MapSource Trip & Waypoint Manager software and add map detail from Garmin's entire line of optional MapSource mapping products. Besides appreciating its small size, outdoorsmen will also be happy with the Venture HC's unique button layout, with five buttons located on either side of the unit. The benefits of this design are twofold: First, the Venture HC is a breeze to operate with just one hand, and, second, with the buttons on both sides of the unit, the bulk of the front is dedicated to the 256-color, sunlight-readable TFT display. This makes it easy to distinguish map details regardless of the time of day. The Venture HC's basemap, meanwhile, contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national and state highways, railroads, and coastlines--in short, a host of helpful details for your outdoor adventures. Other details include an IPX7 waterproof housing, a built-in patch antenna, a USB interface, a hunt/fish calendar, sun and moon information, and a geocaching mode. The Venture HC, which runs for up to 14 hours on a pair of AA batteries (not included), measures 2.2 by 4.2 by 1.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

 Rating:  - Not my favorite for Geocaching by a long shotI've been geocaching for about 6 months (using a Garmin Forerunner 101), and I'm hooked. Got this for myself for Christmas, and was really excited, but quickly dissappointed. Yes, you can directly download your co-ords from geocaching.com, but that's all you get. It lists the caches by thier alpha-numeric code (like I'm going to remember which one is which), but doesn't give any info on the cache. First day out I was 3 for 9! Not the greatest receiver: in most cases, it was way off, when it ... Read More: Rating:  - Great GPS unit!This is my first handheld GPS and I purchased to get started in Geocaching. This unit is very easy to use, works with the geocache website to download geocaches to unit, very sturdy and reliable unit, highly recommend! Rating:  - upgrade nowThis is a good product, but for a little more money you can get a better model. Rating: - Garmin EtrexIt is a great product - use them for work and enjoy using them - I think the video that was included saved me a couple of hours a week of papersork. The GPS did a lot of the stuff that I was doing by hand and notes. Warantee was fantastic - my broken one was replaced and all the waypoints were transferred to the new GPS I am very satisfied - five stars aren't enouth Steve S Kanab, Utah Rating: - Perfect for Geocaching!After a lot of research I bought this GPS unit for my son who wanted to start Geocaching with his 9 year old daughter . It is excellent . The color screen and easy to use features along with the HC technology make it the best buy for a beginner at a very reasonable price ! |
