Andrew and Debbie,

Welcome to Geocaching, and welcome to the list server! It's too bad you
already have your doctorate, Andrew; you could probably write a dozen
dissertations just on what goes on here! :-)

I had generally good results with my Vista. The biggest problem I had
was that the adhesive for the external gasket melted after a year or so
of heavy use. I don't think it was really designed for caching in the
desert heat. (Come to think of it, neither am I.) But for casual use
it's probably fine. I suspect the prices have come way down with all of
Garmin's new models.

One other caution: You can't really take advantage of the mapping
capabilities of the Vista unless you spring for one or more of Garmin's
proprietary MapSource CDs. Those are hard to find with any significant
discounting, and they ain't no bargain, but they are the only thing that
will work, as far as I know.

Hi All, 

We are Andrew and Debbie (AKA DuhNPookinz) and were just introduced to
geocaching. We are quite excited to get started. We are looking at the
Garmin Etrex Vista? Does anyone know if this is good unit to purchase?

Thanks,

Andrew

Just my opinion.
