I still have the Garmin Etex basic for sale for $85.00. Its just as
accurate as the Vista - and easier to use.

I didn't participate in the caching event this Sunday because of the 'health advisory' warning. I was out-and-about today, but didn't spend much time in the elements (car thermometer read 100 degrees)
Mine GPS is just wearing out. The tracking has been really bad since the beginning of this year. I'm in the open at Forest Park - I can walk for 30 yards and the arrow continues to point in the wrong direction. I can stand still and the positioning can go from -30ft to +150ft in a could of seconds. It didn't used to be this way.
I need a high-end eTrex. If hadn't been out of work since March 15 of this year, I would have bought one already. Garmin doesn't provide any more software updates to the GPS III model.

I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm here after.
