ETREX LEGEND May 18, 2007
HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL. SHOWS THE MAJOR STREETS. CAN GET MORE DETAILS BY DOWNLOADING $75 SOFWARE.

I think this is well developed product. It's great for a beginning, and really easy to use. The one drawback is that it does not come with a USB connection, so it won't connect to my laptop.
This e-trex is legendary! May 14, 2007

I like the Legend a lot. It's perfect for geo-caching which is why I bought it. Much easier to use and enter coordinates than the yellow model. Map features are nice even without the software program option. My only complaint is that the computer cable is an outdated serial port adapter, but my (and probably your) computer uses USB connectors. It's worked well for me on all of my adventures and is very easy to use. The instruction manual is helpful and there are many features I haven't even used yet. So far so good. I love the product and you can't beat the price on Amazon!
Garmin eTrex Legend May 14, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is the 7th eTrex Legend I have purchased in the past three years with no regrets; I personally think that it currently represents the best value-for-money GPS on the market for field-engineering applications and the more technically inclined, who prefer to work with coordinates rather than street addresses. Together with Garmap and Mapsource software, it meets every one of our engineering needs. The dash-board mount is a must for those using it a vehicle and the cigarette cable is a general necessity as battery life tends to be limited.
The biggest weakness with the unit is the rubber band around edge hosting several of the control buttons which, on heating and frequent use, has a propensity to stretch, snap and peel off. The carry case does, however, provide a longer life and is worth the money.
The other weakness which is irritating for right-handed users is the position of the mouse button on the left, due to its design as a military device to be carried in the left hand.
It's a shame that the device works with a serial cable and not USB, as it necessitates a USB - RS232 adapter for most of the new generation PCs and notebooks.
But, for just over $100, I will continue to buy this unit while it's still on the market.
 Great Product! May 13, 2007

Product met and exceeded my expectations. I ordered the eTrex for my wife to use in her conservation work, primarily for mapping. I have to admit, I am always taking off with it for geocaching adventures! I love the ability to download to my computer, as well as the ability to upload geocache waypoints. The downside is that I had to buy an rs232 adapter for my laptop since it only has usb, but a small price to pay for the performance I am seeing!
