Editorial Review: Product Description: Pack more detail into your adventure with the eTrex Venture Cx. Garmin has added color, expandable memory, and automatic routing capabilities to this pocket handheld - making it one colorful, go-anywhere little navigator.The eTrex Venture Cx is packed with many of the popular features found in other popular-selling eTrex x-series units - all in a rugged, waterproof case. For greater map detail with no fuss, simply plug optional preprogrammed cards into the unit. Amazon.com Product Description: With the eTrex Venture Cx, Garmin offers all the basic features of the much-loved Legend Cx, without all the bells and whistles. You get the same great hardware and software with the Venture Cx as is found on the Legend Cx, but Garmin has removed the included MicroSD card, the USB cable, Trip and Waypoint software, and the bike clip. The result is an even more affordable little unit that keeps things simple -- perfect for the first-time GPS user or someone who doesn't want to fuss with a lot of extras. The Venture Cx is designed to go right out of the box, so there's no messing with computers or CD-ROMs.
You can also use the Venture Cx's memory card slot with preprogrammed microSD cards from Garmin (sold separately) that provide topographic maps, city streets, and nautical charts. In fact, the unit is compatible with most Garmin MapSource products including BlueChart, City Navigator, U.S. Topo 24K, and U.S. Topo and Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots. The unit comes preloaded with an Americas Recreational Routable Basemap and you can get automatic, turn-by-turn directions with optional preprogrammed City Navigator cards, which navigate you safely to your destination. An integrated trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed and more. Like on all eTrex units, the primary controls are located on the side of the unit, so you can operate it with one hand. An innovative rocker switch on its face makes inputting data easy, and with it you can scroll through menus or pan the map page. If at some point you want to integrate your computer with the Venture Cx, you can purchase a USB cable, which makes loading charts and maps to an optional MicroSD memory card quick and easy. Plus, navigation instructions can be shared with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots using NMEA protocols through the dedicated serial port. Additionally, the case is water-resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes). Another key feature of the Venture Cx is the 10,000 point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions. Meanwhile, there's a large numbers option for easy viewing, as well as a dual position display mode. Lastly, the unit includes built-in celestial tables for best time to fish and hunt, plus sun and moon calculations. What's in the Box eTrex Venture Cx GPS receiver, basemap (Americas Recreational), wrist strap, quick reference guide, and owner's manual. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - BUY IT!!!!!!!!!Works perfect! Great Battery life (30 hours on 2 rayovac AA)! Awesome color screen! Easy navigation in the menus! Remember, this unit does not come with maps or a micro SD card. The SD card can be found on ebay for cheap (<$8) and some people have said maps can be found with a bittorent software (bitcomet.com) and thepiratebay.org. I bought my maps at Garmin for $100/map. Rating: - Garmin has the BEST GPS.We purchased these four Garmins for our four grandchildren so that they could go geocaching this summer. We have purchased other Garmin GPSs and have been extremely pleased so Garmin was our choice. The eTrex Venture CX was the particular product we chose because if offered the long battery life, color display, compass, high number of way points and tracks and fantastic price. You can't beat Garmin on the road but especially for geocaching we have found them to be the best. From our own geocaching ... Read More Rating:  - VersatileThis is a great product for any outdoors enthusiast. You can use it on the road - trail - water, provided that you have the map$. The only negative is that the base map is very limited. In order to get the full potential you need to buy a MicroSD card and the maps to go along. You can easily spend more on the maps than what you paid for the unit. Rating: - Extremely Pleased! Great unit for an amazing price!I was shocked at the accuracy of this unit, i was not expecting it to have this sort of precision. I got this gps for geocaching, road trips and hiking. Everything is so easy to use and almost self-explanatory. I have used all of it's features and haven't had to crack open the user's manual once! I found this gps has the longest battery life of any I've seen, 36 Hours on just 2 AA's!! that was the deciding factor between this unit and a few others for me. I have been researching which unit ... Read More Rating:  - not user friendlyThis item has great promise but using it is not transparent. Be prepared to shlog through lots of instructions that are not altogether clear. |
