 Still works like new after 3+ years! December 14, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This has been one of the best purchases I have made.
I have put this unit to the test for over three years, as my GPSr for geocaching, on the handle bars of my touring and mountain bicycles, on the dashboard of my truck (with the 12 volt power cord) and interfaced to my computer, using Mapsource software, GSAK (geocaching Swiss army knife) via the "can't live without"Keyspan High Speed USB Serial Adapter ( USA-19HS )!
The only bit of a problem I have encountered was with the rubber gasket coming loose, but fortunately for me I live within driving distance of Garmin headquarters and since my unit was still covered under warranty, the folks at Garmin replaced the unit and there has been no problems whatsoever thereafter.
I do highly recommend getting a transparent screen protectorUniversal Digital Camera LCD Screen Protectors for All Screen sizes up to 3.50" X 4.25" for the display and aGarmin Carrying Case for eTrex and Summit (010-10314-00) and aVehicle power adapter for 010-00190-00 and of course Mapsource software from the manufacturer.
I am hoping to get a Garmin GPSMap 76CSx Mapping Handheld GPSfor Christmas, but I will still be using the Legend on my bikes and as a backup for geocaching trips.
Of course this GPSr works fine with a PC (using the Keyspan adapter) but as far as I know will not "talk" to a MAC.
See ya'

I would recommend this GPS for geocachers out there as a dependable hand held unit. If you want a car or truck GPS forget this product. It loses signal very easily inside anything, i.e. your vehicle. Outside with a clear view of the sky is no problem, even with overcast skies. Enjoy!
Great GPS December 6, 2007

This is a good, solid GPS.
The only time I've ever had any trouble with it was in a heavily wooded area, otherwise, it has always performed very well.
Fantastic features for it's price range.

Downsides: RS-232 interface vs USB? How 80's. I'd rather have more accurate basemap data for the US. I don't plan to geocache in the Amazon anytime soon. And I don't want to pay $100 for additional map data.
That said, I really like this device. It does what it says. The find function takes you directly to the cache, even my daughter said "oh, that was too easy!"

Fantastic little GPS. We bought this to help with our Geocaching!
Finding our way with it is simple and easy to learn...it sits on the dashboard perfectly.
It's an adult treasure hunt "game". fun and exciting, we use it in conjunction with our metal detector!
Go to www.geocaching.com to see what it's all about...this is not a commercial for the website just telling you what we use the Garmin GPS for.
It's palm sized plus it has a lace to wear around the neck with a clip on the end to hold the GPS while walking.
Recommend it for price, size, and ease of use. 5 stars from us *****
