I purchase Magellan map 330x two year ago . that one be work really fine . but because its design be not as cute as I would expect , I sell it off eBay one year ago . then I be search for a replacement one , and it be find to be Garmin eTrex Vista . so I purchase it and use it during the 2002 Christmas vacation in California . to my much disappointment , it be really quite inferior to map330 . the only reason I buy it be it it look cute , easy to fit my pocket . however , on technically side , there be many problem . after make painfully decision , I decide to sell it and buy back the map300 again .  First , Garmin 's gp do not come with the detailed city map , which be sell separately for $ 99 + . it be quite expensive . Magellan 's city map come with map330x . -lrb- Garmin 's GPS be already sell higher than comparable Magellan 's -rrb- . second , Vista 's map on the screen be not float . for example , if the street name be `` Main St. '' , and the first two character `` Ma '' be happen to be cutoff on the left side , the screen only display `` in St. '' . very bad , be not it ? map330x 's text name be float to fit in the screen . Third , very very bad , Vista be very slow and difficult to lock the satellite signal . and once it do lock , it be quite easy to get lose -lrb- see other review for any Magellan GPS -rrb- . this be the main problem that make I abandon it finally , even though I like its stylish design so much . fourth , once it lose the satellite signal , it display the message on the bottom of all screen and just will not go , which block the necessary information -lrb- such as elevator , distance , street name , etc. -rrb- that I will like to see even though the signal be off . Fifth , it be quite difficult to navigate the map to left , right , up or down . in map330x , you just move the cursor , use one hand only , can do it , whilea same functionality in Vista need two step and need two hand . it be not likely to do it during drive . Sixth , although Vista outside design be quite cute , its button location be very bad . it be very difficult to manipulate they use one hand during the driving . you may say it be not suppose to use it during drive . but use it during drive , so what , it be just a quite look on the screen , just like drink a soda or eat a bite of mcdonald . it do not cause any problem when use probably . plus , it be only useful during the drive when one need to figure out if he\/she be in the right direction on highway , or if miss a exit , and how far it be need to get the destination . without the proper use of it with one hand , you bet how many people will be buy a gp . Seventh , when Vista be first turn on , it lock the screen to scan the satellite frequency -lrb- which be already quite long compare with map330x -rrb- and do not allow you to go to any other screen further . this be also very bad feature . sometime I just want to see the map of last location , I do not really need to track the current location ; or I just want to setup configuration , why should I have to wait the satellite signal ? there be also other major issue such as not show what be the version number of the firmware , how much memory be leave , what kind of external map be load , etc. .  in this deflationary world , I make purchase carefully on high-tech gadget . I understand the price will drop quickly . so if I do buy it , I really expect to own it and consider the money be discard . if a company do not provide a good product , it can not expect to sell it too many , because nowadays there be on-line auction and trading site everywhere . if a customer do not like the product generally after use it , he\/she will sell it , say , at eBay . therefore , the used one get circulate again and again in the secondary trading market , make the new one difficult to be mass sell .
