Sorry no one has replied to this. The most of them here are sooo lost that a GPS wouldn't do'em any good any how. :shck:
I don't use one because my area is so populated I can always find someone to tell me were to go.  :iroll:  They're not always nice though like the woman whos cat I gut shot.  That dern thing flipped & flopped all the way to her back deck & then died. :rolleye:  When she saw that poor kitty w/ about 20ft of fiddle string all over the deck, boy did she get a bit upset. :argh: That's when I made like I was lost  & told her I only shot the cat as a last ditch effort for survivial.  Then I found out that she was proficient in F-wordise & exclaimed I could go to a much warmer climate. :huh:  She then said she was getting her Rottenwelders after me. She stopped when I quickly explained that I had worked in an Asian Resturant once was still quite abit hungrey. :eyebrownod: (Quick thinken, huh? :eyebrow: )  At that she let out a loud huhuph, picked her pussy up off the deck , like she hoped I'd starve, & whirled into the house & headed straight to the phone. Me, I beat feet over the hill.

My suggestion to you is not to go so far as you don't know how to get back to the rig, & spent that $ on other hunting gear. :wink:

The etex vista should be a fine unit. Get some good mapping software.

I don't own a GPS unit myself (really never had a need) but I may someday.
As a backup to your GPS uni it's good to have a compass and topo map of the area... and know how to use them.

Here's a link (and a bunch of reading) that may give you some answers:
