I use my gp mainly for Geocaching . my original -lrb- Etrex Vista -rrb- be a fine gp , but I want the external antenna , the extended battery life , and the bigger , color screen . I have not be disappoint . this gp be more accurate than my Vista ; the Geocaching mode help keep track of my find . the accuracy be several foot better , too . all in all , if you be look for a gp with more bell and whistle than you 'll ever need , but like the high end of gadgetry , this be it . it may be a bit more expensive than the other model , but to I , it be worth it .
