csl1971 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 So Im not satisfied using my phone, I have used a Megellan Explorist before, but even that left something to be desired on the accuracy side..... Im thinking about getting a Etrex Venture HC, or an E trex 20 Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Of the two I would go with the Etrex20, it does paperless geocaching which I don't think the Venture does. I have owned both an Etrex30 (same as the 20 but with a few more features), and a Vista, which are basically the same size and shape as the 20 and the Venture, and I found the 30 much more comfortable to handle. On the other hand, if money's the main consideration, you should pick up the Venture much cheaper as it's a discontinued model. Quote Link to comment
+gpsblake Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Etrex 20 does everything the Venture HC, plus a ton more.... Auto routing, paperless geocaching, more memory, computer reads it as a hard drive, SD card capability , and a lot more bells and whistles.... I still use my Venture HC for bicycle riding, it's retired from geocaching because it's not paperless. Unless the Venture HC is really cheap (and ever if it is cheap, you'll still want to upgrade), get the Etrex 20. Quote Link to comment
