Wow!

"Bought the bundle to address one of the major complaints--cost of mapware--and couldn't be happier. The Topo 2008 is okay, certainly a major improvement on the base map. The software has a nice little tutorial that makes uploading maps to the device a breeze. On first boot, acquired and locked on satelites within 30 seconds and I was on my way. As a full-functioning GPS mapping device, it took me about an ho..." Read Full Review »

Good Unit/Topo is lacking

"I really like this unit. It's accurate, finds the satellites fast. The main reason I bought this unit is because it is waterproof. I just got into kayaking.

Excellent handheld unit for the price

★★★★★

5.0

"The Garmin Venture HC is an excellent GPS unit for the price. It's very small, about the size of a large cellphone. It feels durable, and has a nice rubberized grip on the outer edges to keep it from slipping out of your hands when wet or cold. Seems relatively water resistant, I've never submerged …" Read Full Review »

"This device is a WONDERFUL improvement in the eTrex lineup. The HC chipset shows remarkable improvements in reception.
