Garmin Gps Etrex Vista Hcx

GPS – Which is best of Garmin (or others)?

I have been looking at two GPS models, both by Garmin. They are vey similar.

eTrex Legend® HCx and the eTrex Vista® HCx

They are very similar, and only differ (from what I can see) in two areas. The Vista has a built in compass and a barometer, where the Legend does not.

Are either of these features vital? Or, are there any other, better GPS’s that you use?

I will primarily be using this for geocaching. I have been caching for 2 years, and use a paper method currently.

Thanks!

the garmin dakota is a right decent gps for hiking and adventuring
