I bought this unit in May 07 to geocache with. I also bought a 2GB micro SD card for $25 and City Navigator Ver.8 at the same time. Pro's: Small, this unit is tiny. Incredibly bright crisp display. Batteries last a long time. Rugged and waterproof. A
Good product, quick shipping. A little misleading or not clear on what comes with product when you order, but a good deal otherwise.
You cant ask for more at this price, and its got all the features you really need, and leaves out what you dont. (like baro pressure...who cares!) Note, to use the handle bar mount you MUST use the supplied clip that comes with the unit. The battery cover
I purchased this GPS so my family could start to go geocaching. It has been awesome. I don't think it has ever lost coverage even though we are sometimes in the thick woods. The batteries also last a long time. I would highly recommend this product.
This is a great product for the money. I had read some negative comments about chip set, but found out this is not the case. This is a big step up from the Etrex legend I had. Satelite reception is quite good. Battery usage is efficient. Accuracy is good.
Best GPS for the price. Pros: Great price, durability, versatility and optional accessories/upgrades. Cons: Only comes in yellow. The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend this GPS. It has great upgrade features and accessories. Very easy to use. Color scre
Darn good GPS. Pros: Feature loaded Cons: rocker key The Bottom Line: Great price for a mapping GPS randulak's Full Review: Garmin eTrex Venture® Cx Handheld GPS Receiver A few months ago I discovered geocaching....where you use modern technology
Simply one of the best handheld GPS system for it's price. Pros: low price, lots of features, WAAS, Micro SD slot Cons: maybe too small if you have huge hands The Bottom Line: The Garmin Venture Cx is one nice little handheld GPS unit that I can reco
I spent quite a bit of time researching which handheld GPS to purchase for walking/geocaching/driving. This unit is so easy to learn how to operate. I've found several caches with my unit with no problem, except mosquitos! I didn't have any pr
In June my family and I went a family vacation to Yellowstone. Usually when we go on an outdoor vacation we go hiking and such. I purchased this unit because my brother and I had discussed going on a 15 to 20 mile hike and I wasn't sure how well the
This GPS unit is great. The battery life has been consistantly greater that 16 hours and even longer when used during the day. The screen is easily readible and the mapping detail is excellent. I am using mine on my motorcycle. I also purchased the 1GB fl
Very happy with unit, in my opinion the best value out there. upgraded from garmin etrex legend, night and day difference
After careful evaluation of several reviews I chose this gps as the one to buy and Im glad I did. I also purchased mapsource US Topo to go with it, for back country hiking, driving or just knowing where you are it will do everything you could ask of a gps
I been using a standard eTrex for years and always liked it. But plotting positions on a map became a hassle, so I started looking for a mapping GPS. I was surprised to find a unit like this for $[...] after rebate. The rebate form was uncomplicated an
I drove my wife crazy spending several weeks worth of nights researching which GPS to buy for my upcoming elk hunting trip in Colorado. After reading several reviews on Amazon about Magellan and Garmin, I decided to focus on Garmin, especially after my ol
Just received the eTrex Venture Cx from Amazon a few days ago. Very satisfied. The device is light and rugged, the holding perfect, and user interface intuitive. The battery life is advertised as 32 hours, and so far the claim seems valid. I intend to use
We got our unit a few weeks ago and we are 100% satisfied!! We use it mainly for geocaching and it has all the features we are looking for. We really recommend this unit. The size and weight are small, and the unit is very rugged and has all the ells a
I recieved my Garmin eTrex Venture Cx last week and love it. The color screen makes it much easier to read, and the expandable memory slot makes it capable of holding much more information. Although it is annoying to have to buy extra maps to use the un
I bought the eTrex Venture after much research. I wanted to be able to get street directions and off road but not spend too much. I already have the Garmin StreetPilot so the street directions weren't a big deal. Well, I bought a 1 gig microcard from

Opened my Venture Cx Christmas day (or Kwanza, Winter Holliday, Winter Solstice Celebration, season of daytime fasting for the crescent moon god or whatever you would like to celebrate...I am trying to be inclusive and politically correct in this new year
Our family has been enjoying the GPS for geochaching and it works pretty well for that purpose. I also own an older street pilot from Garmin, so after registering the new device with Garmin I could also save the base maps on a micro SD card for auto navig
Had a 5 year old unit and this was the perfect replacement. Easy, just took it out of the box and off I went. I thought the navigation would get me within a 15' radius of coordinates but so far it's been better - right on! The color display was
After carefully researching this product and others similiar I decided to go with the Garmin. Garmin is a great product. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Coming from a Magellan Meridian, learning to use the stick in the front was a chore. I'm still baffled sometime about why it doesn't seem to respond sometimes but it works well. It's fast to acquire the satellite signals but doesn't
I got this with a gift cert for Christmas, so that made it even more affordable than it is now! This has been everything I needed at a great price. I have been using it mostly for geocaching and also some navigation. I picked up an older copy of Metrog
I purchased the Garmin Venture Cx specifically for geocaching. I had originally purchased the Garmin Legend Cx, but quickly realized that the price difference does not add up. The Legend Cx is essentially the same unit with a 64MB microSD card, a mini U
We bought the Garmin to go Geocaching after reading other reviews. It is easy to use and we have had so much fun. Never thought we would find something that all three of our kids would enjoy doing with us. Geocaching is challenging and fun for individu
The Garmin eTrex Venture Cx has variously been described as a stripped unit, or as a GPS for someone who wants just the basics. In truth, it is a Legend Cx in a different color. It's perfect for someone who already has Garmin software and a USB cab
Pretty slick little unit although without some downloadable maps that I found, it would be pretty worthless. The built in base map does not have much detail. I specifically bought it for off roading and the TOPO maps are not locked so they work beautifu
I needed the Garmin eTrex for a train trip I was taking. It follows the train along its path and you can tell at all times where you are on the trip. I found the unit to work extremely well. It takes a few minutes for it to set up, by finding satellites.
My first GPS and I have had no problems at all. Bought primarily for geocaching, but working well for car navigation as well. Able to get out caching right from the box. Still have more to learn, but has been a great first GPS.

I had previously purchased a Magellan Explorist Handheld GPS and mapping software as a bundle. Within hours of opening the box I came to realize that there was no way that the Magellan GPS was going to make use of the mapping software. Fortunately that GP
I bought this GPS as a back up when flying on 172 Cessnas (equiped w Garmins 430). Every time has been great! I got the optional case and I clip it to the sunshades. You can download ALL the US airports to it from the internet for free (it's a text f
I wanted a GPS unit that would serve equally well for use in navigation for driving and recreational use, plus it had to be tuff, portable and affordable. Well this sweet little unit does it all - I am amazed by it. I bought a dash mount and power cord a
When I ordered this product Amazon.com said it would take several weeks, because I got free shipping. I received it in two or three days! When it arrived my wife said, "That is awfully small!" I said I wanted it small, because it would be eas
The Venture CX is a great mapping GPS. I used it on a trip to Peru and Bolivia (including an 8 day trek through the Andes), and I have no complaints. Note that it has the same hardware as the other Garmin CX models, lacking just a few things that are all
This little wonder has been unbelievably easy to learn to use. It gets a great signal and, in my experience, has been accurate enough to get me within five feet of where I am going quite consistently. I wish it came with a few more roads loaded on it�
As a first time buyer of a personal GPS unit, I am very pleased with it. It has every feature I need, compass, distance, speed, elevation, etc. The mapping is really good, lasts a very long time with the 2 AA's. If I had to buy another unit, I would
This is a device I currently own, after having experience with Explorist 210, StreetPilot 2720, and Nuvi 360. I'm completely satisfied with my choice and it is the best compromise I was able to find to suite my needs. I don't really need GPS ver
