The eTrex series is far from broken. I have an original Vista with around 12k miles on it, and it still works like brand new.  It has received very harsh treatment, and keeps on ticking.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zelatio]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2007 1:30AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Garmin planning four new eTrex GPS / Galileo handhelds]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/24/garmin-planning-four-new-etrex-gps-galileo-handhelds/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/24/garmin-planning-four-new-etrex-gps-galileo-handhelds/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have used a Garmin 60Cs for the last three years for geocaching, and had an Etrex Legend and Vista before that.  I have been waiting for them to come out with a Vista Cx with the SirfIII chip before changing over.  The 60Cs is excellent, certainly a lot better than the old Vista or Legend, but it does not have expandable memory and it can be a little off in certain circumstances.  While attempting to grab a geocache in a West Virginia rest stop, the 60Cs told me that the cache was simultaneously 10 feet away to the north, 300 feet away to the southwest and 90 feet to the east.  I never found the cache, leaving a big hole in my geocaching states map.  The 60Cs is also fairly large, and it makes a difference when you want to pack light for a storm-chasing trip.  If the new Vista has the SirfIII chip, my 60Cs is goin' bye-bye, and it will give me a reason to upgrade my City Navigator software as well.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gadjitfreek]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2007 4:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Garmin planning four new eTrex GPS / Galileo handhelds]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/24/garmin-planning-four-new-etrex-gps-galileo-handhelds/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/24/garmin-planning-four-new-etrex-gps-galileo-handhelds/</guid><description><![CDATA[Who is buying these things?  I just got one and sent it back.  It is the absolute worst gps reciever I have ever seen.  The map is pathetic.  Of course, if you pay a few hundred more dollars, you can get some decent maps.  At least that's what Garmin says.  I had no intention of paying more money to a company that sent me a worthless product.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[albus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2007 7:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Garmin planning four new eTrex GPS / Galileo handhelds]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/24/garmin-planning-four-new-etrex-gps-galileo-handhelds/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/24/garmin-planning-four-new-etrex-gps-galileo-handhelds/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm curious about albus's experiance with GPSs that have better maps and do not cost more.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2007 9:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Garmin planning four new eTrex GPS / Galileo handhelds]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/24/garmin-planning-four-new-etrex-gps-galileo-handhelds/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/24/garmin-planning-four-new-etrex-gps-galileo-handhelds/</guid><description><![CDATA[Great - future Galileo support.

I love going to Minnesota, and I was told that these newer units will help keep a signal even in the deepest tree coverings in MN.  I'm sure willing to give it a try.  There's nothing more frustrating than losing a signal when you're on a hunt.  At any rate, I also just found out that Garmin is giving away a new nuvi 200 for automobiles this summer...and thought I would look into that for my trips to Minny.  If all I have to do is take a picture of me with my etrex and send it in to win a new unit for my car, I'm game!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 31st 2007 10:46AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
