    "content": "Hi Jim!\n\n> I am looking into purchasing a Garmin \"eTrex Vista HCx\"  GPS to use for\n> dxexpeditioning in working different grids.\n>\n> Has anyone got any reviews on this gps?\n>\n> Does anyone suggest a better one to use for dx-expeditioning?\n\nThis looks like a viable GPS for grid expeditions.  It has a\nscreen with both the latitude/longitude and the accuracy\nfigures, so it could be used to satisfy VUCC documentation\nrequirements.  Maybe a little on the expensive side, but it\nwould work.\n\nI use a Garmin GPSMAP 76S to find the grid boundaries.\nI can quickly go between latitude/longitude and Maidenhead\nlocator, and can show that accuracy figure on the same\nscreen as the latitude/longitude or Maidenhead grid.  It is\ncapable of having updated maps loaded on it, to augment\nthe base map it comes with - something I have not done\nwith mine.  On the QSL cards you've received from me, you\nsee photos of the latitude/longitude display of this GPS.  It\nhas been discontinued, but the GPS 72H is a successor to\nmy unit.\n\nThe GPS 72H doesn't have all the bells and whistles that\nmy unit has, but the price is not as steep as the unit you\nare looking at.  It does have the same sort of display as\nmy unit has, with the latitude/longitude and accuracy\nfigure on one screen.  If I needed to replace my current\nGPS for my grid expeditions, I would probably go with this\nunit to avoid separating myself from more of my money to\nget another GPS.  With the mapping capabilities in GPS-\nequipped smartphones, I do not see a huge need to have a\nGPS with detailed mapping.\n\nThere is some advantage in making use of smartphone-based\nGPS applications for reasons like those Drew mentioned, but\nI still like having the GPS that will meet all requirements for\nVUCC documentation.  None of the GPS-related apps on my\ntwo phones (Nokia N900, iPhone 4) nor my VX-8GR show\nthat accuracy figure.  The VX-8GR will show a count of the\nnumber of GPS satellites it is using to determine my location,\nbut I have not seen any documentation that could translate\nthe satellite count to an accuracy figure in feet or meters.\nI've never been asked by ARRL to provide documentation\nfor my grid-boundary activities, but I want to be able to\nmeet those requirements if I am ever asked to provide the\nphotos and other proof I have.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n",
