 Excellent GPS August 24, 2007

I was very surprised by the quality of this GPS. I bought it for a recent trip to England (had to send it to a friend in the USA and then here by UPS) and used the MetroGuide Europe 8 maps that I found online with a little trick that means them GPS routable. It worked great and got me to all the places (on foot) that I wanted to see. I did however have some qualms about it:
1. The autorouting doesn't distinguish good areas from bad, which can be a problem in London as you're happily following the directions in the late afternoon and suddenly find yourself in an council housing estate area full of hoodies staring at you. Nothing happened, but I felt very uncomfortable.
2. Whenever I told either MapSource or the GPS to find me a pedestrian route between (even nearby) cities it seemed to give up and told me to go on a motorway. Not being completely crazy, I took the bus instead and never noticed any pedestrian ways near motorways outside of cities. This remains a mystery. More so since it gives you the route like it were good instead of saying "sorry, can't do that."
Otherwise though, this is a really good GPS that performs better than I had expected.

I guess the picture of the unit with streets in the the image
made me suppose that is what you get. Apparently you do not. All you get is the main roads so once you zoom into your neighborhood you get a blank screen. To buy the street maps from Garmin cost $140 just for N. America. Looks like I should have just stuck with my laptop and Google maps. The Garmin web site is poor. I tried updating my software. Although I hit the update software it baulked because there were already files of the same name. Even after clicking "ok" the update box to extract the files never disappeared or changed to say it had correctly updated. I was left wondering if it had.
Recommendations Confirmed July 19, 2007

The Garmin eTrex Legend CX had been highly recommended to me by
friends in a local prospecting club and the instructor at a map and
navigation course I recently completed. Those recommendations were
proven to be true, true, true when I purchased my own Legend CX and
used it up here in the Colorado Rockies. I won't repeat all the
positives others have written about as I found them to be accurate.
I have not found any negatives, yet.
My wife loves it and says it's easy to use and plot way-points,
and we get a strong fix on satellites even out in the backwoods
under heavy canopies of tall pines. I don't measure battery life
in hours as we take the Legend CX with us on prospecting trips that
last several days and don't have to replace the batteries (we don't
use the CX as an entertainment center so battery life will vary
with how you use the unit). We almost exclusively use way-points
to plot our trips and trails so cannot talk about the colored
maps other than they are clear and much easier to read than the
black and white maps I had on the training GPS unit used during my
map/nav course. Where we go the way-points are more practical than
maps. This is a well-built, easy to operate GPS.
Garmin eTrex Legend? or Vista CX June 28, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
My buddy found the Vista on sale. We sat side by side while we ordered it. Suprise! A Legend came instead. Not sure what happened. But, I am totally enthralled with the Legend as it used satilites (more accurate) to figure altitude where the Vista used Baro pressure (less accurate I believe).
Delievery was very fast.
