I picked up a Garmin Etrex Vista HCX last year on sale for $199. I mostly use it to mark the location of an animal I have downed or make sure I'm on public land, and it works great for both of those applications. I have had a buddy with a Oregon 450 out on the hunt, and it is a superior unit, biut for my use the vista works great. It is SD card compatible and has a color screen. The screen is smaller that the Oregon series but still works well at letting you know where you are. Like I said, I use mine for simnple navigation purposes and thats all I can really give you feedback on. I'm no GPS expert, by far.
Happy Hunting!
