The Garmin eTrex Venture HC High-Intensity Color Mapping Handheld GPS is an essential for any outdoor excursion, as it helps you navigate through the toughest terrain.

This unit offers 24 MB of internal memory and a detailed basemap, so you can load waypoints and routes from the included MapSource Trip & Waypoint Manager software and add map detail from Garmin's entire line of optional MapSource mapping products.
The Venture HC's basemap, meanwhile, contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national and state highways, railroads, and coastlines--in short, a host of helpful details for your outdoor adventures.

This is another great product from Garmin and a highly recommendable one.
