Cons: underperforms
Simply unable to transfer any useful data to Garmin etrex vista. Software surprisingly useless. Tried many ways to modify parameters both with the unit and download wizard and this software seems to always end in "communication error" which is disappointing after a long download. Attempting to download for the Topo US 2008 CD also erases the database that comes on the unit!!! This leaves you with NO data in the GPS.
National Geographic's mapping software not compatible with downloading but still is a seemingly more funcitonal product and actually works with the Garmin units. ...

Connects to GPS to trasfer data to and from Garmin GPS units with maping capabilities. Data such as waypoints, tracks, and routes can be transfered to map and stored or printed on a map. Erases the units base map of the area when new map data is transfered.
Lacks some detail such as city street names and some "back roads" trails or roads. A better choice for city streets and general road travel would be the Gamin "Metro Guide" version 5.0. (another $85 to $120). ...
