Garmin Vista or Venture.

[ryan the poor college kid]

hey fellas:
do any of you have any experience with the vista? i am looking at both but i would like to get the vista if i can find it cheap enough. i know someone here said they got a vista for around $220?? where was that at? i checked Reeds and they are $350 there.
my second choice is the Venture. do any of you have one of these bad boys?? is there a noticeable difference with the WAAS??
so many questions......so little time.
thanks guys

Ryan, that $220 sounds like a mistake to me. Maybe he meant the eTrex Legend. Anyway, I got my Vista at EBay auctions last fall. I paid $309 which included shipping and an eTrex case along with the GPS unit. Go to EBay.com to check out prices. The GPS units are under Consumer Electronics.

I saw a Vista on the yahoo.com shopping section for $289. Cheapest I ever saw it. A buddy got one and likes it.

Ryan, I got my vista from affordablegps.com, it was 289, I believe.
