Great little GPS unit that works just fine
Review of Garmin eTrex Legend by greekmiss

Advantages: Great coverage with pretty close readings
Disadvantages: Large trees keep from allowing great coverage and monitor is not in color

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 ...

Review of Garmin nuvi 350 by arcusin13

Advantages: very fast and quiet
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

The Garmin Nüvi 350 is based on the SiRFstarIII GPS chip, which boasts fast satellite-acquisition times and improved GPS-signal reception in areas where the view of the sky may be partially blocked by dense foliage or tall buildings. In addition to voice-guided, turn-by-turn driving directions, the Nüvi offers all the usual features we've come to expect from today's crop of in-car navigation systems, including automatic routing, the ability to save ...
