I have one of the Etrex as well as a Garmin Rhino.
The Etrex is nicer for marking more locations. Up to 500. It also has a better routing sysem.
The Garmin Rhino has a speaker on it and can sound an alert when you #s from there. The Rhino also has the FRS/GMRS radio and can accept downloads for maps from the computer. It can also use an external power cable for your road travels.
Some of the newer Etrex have better mapping built into them but no radio nor audible alert.
There are so many different ones out there. You shoud really go into the store, see all the features and figure out which ones are more important to your needs for the price.[cool]
