Geko 301 Vs. eTrex Vista

I can't decide!

The Geko has most of the features of the Vista, but is smaller and has no memory for mapping.

The Vista is larger, probably more rugged, has a higher resolution display and 24mb to download maps to.

I'd like to use it with my Axim X5 in the future, but also as a standalone unit now.

I've shied away from magellan recievers after holding one and seeing its size! Quad-Helix=huge reciever!

Any comments? When including a PC interface cable the Geko is around £50 cheaper than the Vista.

Thanks for reading!

My preference would be the eTrex Vista, the screen's a little larger and you've also got added support for mapping in the future if you want to go out and buy a Garmin MapSource CD.
