Now there are few and, honestly, who needs reason anymore? ;)<\/p>\n<p>So, after browsing for a while here and there, my choice stopped on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.garmin.com\/products\/etrexVista\/\">Garmin eTrex Vista<\/a>.  Garmin suggests the price of approximately $320 USD, but there are offers on the web that quote as low as $160 USD.  I am considering $300 USD to be roughly the maximum I am prepared to spend on the device.  Requirements are few and simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>it should be small enough (pocket size, belt clip, you get the idea)<\/li>\n<li>it should allow for additional maps, waymarks, and other information to be loaded (Cyprus data included in the package is considered an advantage)<\/li>\n<li>it should be possible to save few routes (at least 5-10) with few waymarks (at least 5-10)<\/li>\n<li>good reception from within a car as well as outside with the clear sky and without any trees around (this should be easy)<\/li>\n<li>rechargeable battery pack and power adapter for the car are considered an advantage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Basically, Garmin eTrex Vista suits my needs pretty well.  I am not sure though if there is any other device similar in functionality, but somehow better.  I will search more of course.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>My desire for a GPS device is getting stronger by the day.
