Great GPS but wrong Product Description May 17, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is a great basic GPS but it is not color as indicated in the Product Description. The one pictured is eTrex Venture CX.
Capable, Affordable - A Great Value May 15, 2007

I really have no major complaints about my Garmin eTrex (lovingly called "the yellow eTrex"). The interface is simple, and the unit is small and light.
Some may wish they had gone a step up to a model with the thumb-stick for easier interface navigation. I was one such person, and I have to admit that the thumb stick is much easier to use than the up/down buttons that you're limited to with the yellow eTrex.
Buyer beware when it comes to USED yellow eTrex models. Many versions of it were sold that were not WAAS enabled. You can ask a seller if the system menu has an option to disable/enable WAAS. If not, you're looking at a slightly less accurate model (but if the price is right for you, it shouldn't matter too much).
 Great Product and Customer Service May 13, 2007

I purchased the Venture Cx and it stopped working. Called customer service and they said to send it back. Sent it out on Monday and had a brand new one delivered on Friday. Also included was a free car charger. That is what I would call customer service! The Venture Cx has been a great GPS!
Be aware of what you are buying! Ad is misleading. April 25, 2007

There's nothing really wrong with this product. It is mostly what I expected when I ordered it. But as someone else pointed out, Amazon is advertising the wrong device! The eTrex personal navigator is NOT color, does NOT have maps, and does NOT have a USB connection for your computer. To interface with your computer, you need to order a strange sideways looking cable that connects to a serial port. They have adapters from serial to USB, but the port on the device is not typical. I would suggest buying the device first and then ordering a cable.
This is fine for a startup GPS device, specifically for geocaching. It's very simple. All it does is point you to your waypoint, which is great when Google Earth can't get you close enough. However, if you are expecting any mapping at all, you're looking at the wrong eTrex.
Word of warning April 20, 2007

I received mine yesterday. It works fine. For some reason it took serveral minutes to get a signal the first time though.
**Just a warning if you are an impulse buyer like me.**
The Amazon add has details on the product and it shows a color display. That is the eTrex Venture Cx model. The one here is the basic. I was expecting color. My bad for buying so quickly without reading. duh.
Also I expected a data cable. Any other product on the planet comes with one if needed. I just bought the cable today. With shipping it was $45. I didn't expect this either. Again. My bad.
I'm sure I'll have fun with it.
