First GPS
Works great, very accurate. Instructions were not very good… a bit more of a learning curve than I expected.

Killer performance
Highly recommended for an all-around GPS unit. It performs very well. It’s fast, colors and light adjustments are highly effective, and it has a lot of features.

Cheap device – expensive price
Well, this item is pretty typical of a bottom end electronic gadget these days. Extremely user hostile without the slightest attention paid to the interface or usability.

Poor documentation
Well confusing and incomplete documentation. The unit I received was even broken. You could not upload maps to it.

Value for $$ trekking GPS
I have used a friend’s etrex legend and vista HCx before. Decided to get the Venture HC due to it’s low price. At $130, it’s excellent value for money.

Runners aid
Uncanny accuracy when linked to the PC software (supplied). If you run/walk with a small pack and don’t mind carrying this it gives great data re route, speed etc and can be used…

great for the money
I bought this GPS to geocache because I could not afford a more expensive one. A friend bought the Garmin Colorado 400t.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Geocaching
I wasn't sure which GPS to get for Geocaching... I have a navigation system in my car, so I really didn't want to spend a bunch of money.
