[QUOTE="cmatera, post: 767104, member: 64732"] My first Garmin was an Etrex Vista. Great little unit, though the HCx is the best in that series. Went to a 60CSx. Very accurate, and the best at the time. I then bought an Oregon 550t. It wasn't that accurate, the screen was hard to read in sunlight, the touch screen did not work with some gloves. I sold it and just bought a 62sc. I wanted the camera but not the overpriced topo map from Garmin. What I have learned over the years: a gps with a good external antenna is more accurate, the touch screen can be difficult to see and does not work that well (it's not like the touch screen on a cell phone). Give me an external antenna, buttons, lots of memory and SD card capabilities & I'm happy. [/QUOTE]
