Alaska Back Country
This is very simple, I hiked this thing through a two day "Eco Challenge" in Kodiak, Alaska and it performed flawlessly. I dropped it. I banged it on rocks. I got it wet. I cussed at it because I was lost. :-) Yet no matter what indignity my team inflicted on this little blue gem, it kept on performing and it kept on showing me the way. The only thing that happened to it: well, of course, the batteries ran out when the rain came down the hardest and I had to get the VERY easy to use cover .... Read more

ok out in the open
My first GPS. Initially had some trouble with software often crashing locking up the unit. But it's works problem free since I updated the software. Which I might add is pretty straightforward. The only issue that I have with the unit is that it doesn't track well in densely wooded trails. It's performance is spotty. Eats batteries, so bring extras out on the trail. I've gotten used to it now, it's helpful not to wear the unit on your belt, but rather up on the strap of your backpack. That makes .... Read more

Bare bones GPS with no feature improvements in last 5 years
I bought an Etrex legend 4 years ago, for the last 18 months I've had intermittent problems with it not working.

Negatives:
Not very durable
Very poor reception under tree cover, Magellan is better here.

Bare bones map, for a good map you pay $100 more.
Minimum memory, only 8 MB, so if you do buy the map, you can only put
a small portion in at any given time.

Comes with a serial cable, most USB to s .... Read more

It was ok for geocaching but...
I bought the eTrex Legend three years ago to replace an older model that I passed on to my son. The price was right and it came with Garmen's software, a car lighter power cable and a protective case. A big improvement was the ability to run the unit off of the car's DC power while driving toward the final location and then run off of battery while on foot. However, I did notice that it seemed to be less capable of getting a good signal and would frequently bounce all over the place in the wo .... Read more

great for geo-caching
I bought the Garmin Etrex for basically an extra GPS for myself. We have gotten hooked on the geo-caching and a GPS is important to have. My husband has a Garmin 350 and what is bad with that is that it is a touch-screen, so when you are walking with it in your hand, you will most likely hit the screen. So it's really a pain. With the Garmin Etrex, that won't happen. You have to push a button in order to move from one screen to the other. I have used it now eight times and the coordinates .... Read more
