Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin eTrex Venture HC GPS Receiver
Customer Review: good value for a basic gps
Summary: 4 Stars
Our old and trusty Magellan GPS had served us well, but its age was certainly showing. Not having it on hand on a recent trip, I borrowed a Garmin eTrex Vista from a friend. His unit convinced me it was time to get a Garmin eTrex. I settled for the eTrexHC mainly because of the price. Now that I have used it for site visits and on trips, it clearly is a good investment since its price and performance are very hard to beat. I was able to get maps from OSM that are really very helpful and updated. If there is only one thing that would make it better, it would be having a slot for a microSD so I don't have to keep loading and unloading maps--though I don't have to do this that often. The microSD card slot feature is available in a higher priced sibling of the eTrex HC. If you want the added convenience of storing a good number of maps and topos, get the one with the microSD slot.

Waterproof, IEC 60529 IPX7, /Submersible 1 meter at 30 minutesAn essential for any outdoor excursion, the Garmin eTrex Venture HC helps you navigate through the toughest terrain. The unit is equipped with a high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, which locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear: whether you're traipsing through thick woods or strolling near tall buildings and trees, you can count on the Venture HC to help you find your way when you need it the most. At the same time, the Venture HC's easy-to-use menu lets you create and view waypoints (up to 500), save and view 10 track logs, access setup features, and more. It even offers 24 MB of internal memory and a detailed basemap, so you can load waypoints and routes from the included MapSource Trip & Waypoint Manager software and add map detail from Garmin's entire line of optional MapSource mapping products.
Besides appreciating its small size, outdoorsmen will also be happy with the Venture HC's unique button layout, with five buttons located on either side of the unit. The benefits of this design are twofold: First, the Venture HC is a breeze to operate with just one hand, and, second, with the buttons on both sides of the unit, the bulk of the front is dedicated to the 256-color, sunlight-readable TFT display. This makes it easy to distinguish map details regardless of the time of day.
The Venture HC's basemap, meanwhile, contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national and state highways, railroads, and coastlines--in short, a host of helpful details for your outdoor adventures. Other details include an IPX7 waterproof housing, a built-in patch antenna, a USB interface, a hunt/fish calendar, sun and moon information, and a geocaching mode. The Venture HC, which runs for up to 14 hours on a pair of AA batteries (not included), measures 2.2 by 4.2 by 1.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.
