I returned this unit as it had no maps loaded and had to buy $100+ package to get any maps that I could use for outdoor trekking. To get at the free maps mentioned in reviews for this Garmin was a big pain. Went with Delorme model that costs a bit more, but comes with easy map downloads to the world in topo satellite etc. for $30. Much better value for me.

This GPS unit is quite easy to use and locked on quickly. Maps are not very detailed but you can get additional maps for a fee of around $90. I am using the unit in conjunction with a computer database so I only need the Lat & Long readings. Very good unit for the money.

After much research into handheld GPS devices I decided on the Garmin eTrex Venture HC. The price and feature set was good as compared to other units in the same price range. Accuracy of the unit is good. This is my first dedicated handheld (other than my iPhone which works great as GPS device when maps are downloaded for areas when data signals are not available, as the GPS still works without that as long as you've pre-downloaded maps for where you are going). Overall the Venture HC is very nice. Garmin may want to update their BaseCamp software though, and certainly their Webupdater software for the Mac - as it killed my unit the first time I used it and after several Customer Support calls to Garmin it was determined I would have to send the unit back for a replacement because the update rendered the Venture inoperable. Garmin's Tech and Customer support was great and I received a new unit within a couple of days. Other than that I am very happy with it. I also purchased the 100k maps, which I highly recommend, as the base maps that are included with the unit are not that good. The 100k maps improve the units ability very well. I would recommend the Garmin eTrex Venture HC to anyone looking for a well constructed and accurate handheld GPS device.

The GPS is a bit confusing at first. I even read the manual. This is the first GPS handheld I have ever owned and it seems to do the job just fine. I got it for geocaching and I can find them okay but the screens do get a bit confusing to navigate and try to set up. Downloading the info from the net is easy ([...]) and the easiest method to input info. I still have trouble putting in coordinates manually unless you call up an existing waypoint and modify it. The mapping software is very basic. I have mapsource from garmin also (through a car gps unit) and tried to update as the purchase included free update. The maps downloaded to the handheld but then told me to unlock them - couldn't do that without paying an additional $100 fee as Garmin claims the mapsource was not shipped with the handheld and shouldn't have worked. It did without any warning prompts. If you own muliptle GPS (car, handheld) be careful using the software. I can use the handheld but have to to say skip/enter to bypass the locked message page. It still works but is a painful reminder of something that "shouldn't have happened". You can upload easy to mapsource to see your tracks, routes etc. but you see them as all connected (even from across the country) unless you save, clear, turn off tracking each time you do a new track/route/geocache/hike. Still like it for the money but be aware of limitations.

Ordered this GPS after reading the mostly positive reviews. Overall I'm very impressed.
Pros:
- Rugged construction feels very solid and well made
- Screen is impressively easy to read even in bright sunlight
- Controls are solid and work very well
- Battery life is excellent
- Seems to be well thought out and engineered
Cons:
- Biggest one by far: the ludicrously tiny amount of memory with no available expansion. 24 megabytes might have been OK a decade ago, but it just doesn't cut it today when you can buy a 2,000 MB usb stick for under $10. I'm able to load enough detailed maps for about a 80 mile radius. There'd be no way to take this on a vacation unless you lugged a laptop with you to constantly rotate your maps.
- As everyone has said, basemaps are pretty pathetic, you can download detailed maps and POI for free though from websites like gpsfiledepot and poi-factory.
- Detailed maps draw quite slowly, can sometimes take 15-20 seconds to render the map every time you move, zoom in, or zoom out.
- There are a few interface glitches: you have to set the display brightness every time you power it on, there's a popup alert whenever it loses GPS signal which is annoying, it's hard to power on you have to repeatedly hit the button.
Overall it's a good GPS for the money, just keep in mind the flaws. Make sure you download the software update for the mapsource, the newer version seems to work much better.
