 Garmin Venture HCNov 21, 2009
As with any Garmin product, it is outstanding. My last couple of Garmin GPS units lasted for years. This one has a few new and good features that the older ones don't have. It is easy to use.
Great GPSNov 12, 2009
Excellent GPS. This is my first GPS. It was easy to set up and is very easy to use. I use it for Geocaching. Good price and quick delivery.
garmin eTrex VentureNov 10, 2009
After researching several handheld GPS devices - we bought the Garmin eTrex Venture. We've only used it so far for geocaching and it's worked extremely well - can get us to within a few feet. It's sometimes slow to pick up the satellites when it first turns on - otherwise, no problems. You're supposed to be able to download geocache coordinates from the geocache website to Garmin GPS units - we haven't tried this yet.
 Garmin eTrex GPS used for geocacheingNov 04, 2009
I finally used this for the first time to find a geocache. Turns out, I chose one of the hardest ones to find (a micro multi-cache) and didn't make it past the 1st location but at least I was able to follow it quite easily. Inside, I was concerned about the screen contrast and brightness but outside in the light, I was able to see the screen ok without it being lighted. I am a bit concerned about the battery life. Time will tell. I bought 4 NiMH rechargeable batteries to use with it. From time to time I take it out of the drawer and turn it on. It didn't seem like the batteries lasted too long before it told me battery low. I haven't used it enough to tell how long the true battery life is but I want to take it hunting to find the blind and the car. It wouldn't be to cool if the batteries gave out. You usually walk to and from the blind in the dark so the lighted display will be used a lot. Accuracy finding the first geocache was to 14'.
