 Better than Garmin eTrex Legend Cx April 10, 2006
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
I bought the Garmin eTrex Legend Cx - about 250. I then bought a 1gb microSD card for 60. At this point the base maps are still useless. I wanted to use for driving to the lakes in MN and then use ON the lakes in MN. Garmin makes you buy Navigator NA and MN Lakemaster for about 100 each. HOWEVER, they can not be practically overlaid and necessitate use of either one or the other. That would have put my tab at 510 plus. Something else I learned - When you buy City Navigator North America - you don't get ALL of NA - you pick a state and marry it to your Garmin unit. If you want another state you need to call Garmin and pay them to unlock another state. What a racket. All learned after my eTrex purchase. I feel a bit dumb in not researching more. Fortunately, all was returnable. ENTER: the Lowrance Expedition c. 269 on sale elsewhere plus 69 for the Lakemaster Pro Maps MN, which include all the major lakes AND the road structure - exactly what I wanted. Total of 340 AND the display is larger, it's easier to use (wonderfully written manual), it has greater battery life, it floats with most lithium batteries, it has a compass... I could go on and on.
I'm not a GPS fanatic and I'm sure the eTrex Legend Cx has it's advantages - but none that have surafaced or are likely to have much significance to me. The Garmin syncs through a USB cable and has some techno-geek features that I'd hasten to say few people actually utilize. The Lowrance also comes with a 12v power adaptor - very nice for car or boat. And with the 170 I saved I can get my Uniden Atlantis 250 Two-Way radio!
 Great new color GPS receiver March 27, 2006

See my review for this receiver under Lowrance ifinder Expedition C Plus, which is the same receiver with the 6 MapCreate CDs and card reader included. The Plus package is a very good deal if you're interested in having detailed topographic map information on your receiver. The non-Plus unit just comes with basic low detail built-in map that's not too useful.
The Lowrance ifinder Expedition C has a built-in compass, color screen, an easy and advanced mode, many user adjusted options, and uses small SD memory cards.
GPS satellite is fast and strong; it even works inside my house! Battery life seems somewhat short, but overall I'm impressed.
