Specification :

The Garmin Vista HCx, brings a high sensitive receiver to Garmin' s popular line of eTrex handheld units. It features a small GPS receiver and navigator with a color screen you can hold right in your hand. The Vista HCx is modeled after the original eTrex Vista, the color Vista C and the Vista Cx, which brought expandable memory to the eTrex series. Now it has a high sensitive receiver, although unlike other previous Garmin units, the high sensitive receiver chip is not a Sirf product, rather a MediaTek 3. Designed for outdoor use, such as on the trail, hiking, geocaching, and biking, the HCx also can be used for highway use, if you purchase the Garmin CityNavigator maps. Overall, the unit operates nearly identical to the Vista Cx, with just a few minor changes. The only feature change in the HCx is the ability to customize the routing color. The Vista HCx lists on the street for $ 299. Check discount prices here. Garmin has also upgraded its line of eTrex models with color screens and the high sensitive receiver, including the eTrex Summit HC, which includes an electronic compass and altimeter, the eTrex Venture HC, which does not have a card slot, but a limited amount of internal memory and does not have the ability to give road navigation, and the eTrex Legend HCx, which is identical to the Vista HCx, except the Legend does not have the electronic compass or altimeter.
