WHICH GPS

[meeper]

I want to ask for a Etrex series that records top speed, which one do you all recommend?? I was thinking the vista model because of its electronic compass and WAAS... I would also like to upload maps, think this is the one for me... ANYONE???????

if u want serious mapping features and being able to see land and water and you moving thru it and where everything is around you, that won't do it. You will need a GPS with cartographic capabilities. Huge price jump.. if ur jsut looking for top speed and basics, that will do it.

I wouldn't trade my GPSMAP 76C for anything else

not even a far superior 39 satellite military cia model stolen from cuba?

just so happens I have one, for you shibnasty $8,999.98. But wait there's more.......

i was waiting for the sales pitch where you would discount it and sell it to me for $99.99

you need to buy the etrex legend. That is what i have and it is great. It has many more features than the vista. I uploaded road maps of connecticut and on the water. The legend is garmin blue-chart compatible. It records a ton of trip data, has a ton of waypoints and decent memory. I got mine for $159.99 at cabellas. You can get it at walmart for $129.99. I hope this helps, but so far you are on the right track. First off its a good thing that you chose garmin because they are the best.

My vote goes to the Etrex Legend as well.

I would if it had to be "reprogrammed" like someone else’s military unit. But this is ready to go and its HOT HOT HOT. Act now and I'll throw in a riva stage 2 from Richard at 80% off, his treat

I thought you were going to trade me for my GPS in the LTD??

I think its a great deal...I know...Giving up on my B/W will be hard, and getting used to the color screen...LOL

According to the Garmin site the Vista has more features, like the Electronic compass, tells me which way im pointed when im not moving unlike all the other models, plus it has 24mbs of ram instead of 8 like the Legend, think ill ask for the vista. Either way cant go wrong.
