Hey everyone,
Hope you are having a good day. I am reasonably new to backpacking and resently bought a garmin etrex vista. After playing around with it a little, I took it on a recent overnight to see how it would work. Ok lets say I was really suprised! I couldn't even get a satalite fix!! I assume I am doing something wrong here. I was in a densely wooded are but I should have still gotten something. Shouldn't I?? Perhaps there is a better model to use for my intentions, like the garmin gpsmap62?? I understand it has a different antenna. Can somebody educate me on these things, please.
Thank you,
Steven
