![]() Found the cache simply from the cache description.Īdmo1872, you do know that the HCx takes microSD cards, right? So there is no need for built-in memory. It was giving me an accuracy of 167 feet. I did a NYC cache the other day, and my GPS was useless. I would so love to have better satellite reception when in the woods. I'm not sure it is enough of an improvement for me to replace mine just yet, especially considering that I am leaning towards the 60 CSx. Of course, the HCx trounces mine in almost every other important area, especially battery life, USB, auto routing, color screen, high sensitivity receiver, expandable memory, etc etc etc. I was just comparing my current Vista to the new HCX, and it turns out the Vista is superior in 2 places: Quick edit: Just did a quick side-by-side comparison between the HCx and my nuvi 350 (SiRF III chipset) with the HCx edging out the nuvi by a couple of sats. ![]() That's about all I have time for right now.sensitivity seems *very* good and should please those that currently have poor performance with their unit. How long it will last right now is pretty much anyone's guess. As far as what adhesive is used to attach the rubber outer band to the unit, I really don't know but it seems very similar in strength to the one used on the Vista C. Button placement and feel are identical to the Vista C. ![]() The entire cover is made of this alloy with the exception of the rubber moulding/built-in gasket seal.Īs can be seen in the above photo, the mounting hole for the belt-clip attachment is threaded into the alloy making the back cover *very* solid. The back compartment cover is made of some type of cast metal alloy (likely aluminum.I doubt it's titanium but it sure looks like it.a "scratch-test" may be in order). I have yet to use it in any kind of vegetation/trees so no comment on that. ![]() The Vista C is unable to find/lock any sats in the same location (sorry, no direct comparison pics.I warned you that this was a mini-review). As can be seen in the above photo, I have a very good sat lock. Whatever new "high sensitivity" GPS chipset it uses blows away the Vista C upon my initial comparison (in the house with a metal shingle roof). Whatever comparisons I make will be to the Vista C unit (which I've owned since it's initial release) so if something carried over from the Vista C to the Vista Cx, I wouldn't know about it.so pardon the ignorance. I received my Vista HCx today from TVNAV so I thought I'd write up a mini-review and give some first impressions. ![]()
