UPDATE: This model has been discontinued. For more current recommendations, please refer to our or our chart. The is a new, relatively low-end model in the eTrex line up. It is a monochrome unit, though it does offer an and. Step down to the Legend H and you’ll even drop those two features. The Vista H can accommodate maps, but is limited to 24MB of on-board memory. Not recommended I’ll cut right to the chase here.

I can’t recommend this unit. Monochrome displays are nowhere near as bright as color units, and can be quite difficult to see in daylight conditions. Instead, I recommend one of the following: • – This unit adds a color screen, but drops the electronic compass and barometric altimeter • – This model adds to the Venture HC’s feature set with a micro-SD slot for additional map storage and provides the ability to do turn-by-turn highway routing (when you add City Navigator maps) To see how the Vista H stacks up against other units, check out my chart.

Get Your Bearings The Vista H has a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even while you're standing still, and its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude.
