Garmin eTrex Legend

 

With the eTrex Legend, Garmin has loaded a full base map of North and South America into one small unit. The Legend is also designed to provide precise GPS positioning using... more...correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). This product will provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections. The base map contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national and state highways, railroads and coastlines. The eTrex Legend is also equipped with additional memory totaling eight megabytes. The added memory allows the eTrex Legend to accept downloaded map data from Garmin's entire line of MapSource CD-ROMs, including Fishing Hot Spots. The eTrex Legend comes in a brightly colored translucent blue case that really makes the unit stand out. New to the product design, Garmin will include marine aids to navigation in addition to the base map. These navigational aids will be pre-loaded into each unit from the factory. It is compatible with most Garmin MapSource products including MapSource BlueChart marine cartography, MetroGuide, and Fishing Hot Spots. Accepts up to 8 megabytes of downloaded map detail.

I've owned this GPS unit for over a year now. I use it for hunting, camping, walking in the woods or when I go geocaching (a fun little game and an extra way to use your GPS unit). I've been able to get within 1 yard of a point I'm looking for or just track where I have been and where I need to go! Although there are some downsides...which I believe occur with all GPS units that I've played with so far. One is that if you are in thick woods or under large trees or in a really low gully, you don't recieve the best reception to the satellites in order to get closer to the spot you want to get to. Another down side is the fact that the screen is not in color.

What's great though is that you can save tracks or certain spots so you can get to them another day by inputting your GPS waypoint/coordinates and saving it under a specific title. If you are walking, you can track your walk (the GPS unit does it automatically when you turn it on).

The map that came with the GPS unit was up to date when purchased but in order to remain up to date you have to update the maps. This can be done online and there is a fee associated. This GPS only has a map view (roads, cities, rivers, etc.), no Satellite photos.

There are buttons on the face of the unit and on the side for navigation of window panes on the monitor. The buttons get some getting used to as they are not labeled completely well. Take some time to read the manual prior to playing around - it will help.
