Garmin E-Trex Legend

Date of Review:  Mar 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: Would recommend to any outdoor enthusiast. Is very user friendly and manufacturer support is great.
Review: Have had mine for about 2 years now and I really like it. It has a "joystick" on the face that make use a bit easier on the move. I used it at first primarily as a Military GPS while in the infantry. I was fairly accurate to the Military GPS...

Handle with care!

Date of Review:  May 26, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great unit for the car, but doesn't stand up to outdoor use.
Review: I bought my E-Trex Legend in May 2002 mostly for hiking and backpacking trips. It's been a love/hate relationship ever since. I use Topo USA and Metro USA software to download maps and information to my Legend. This feature is great! I have been...

Where Am I?

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you do not need an audio prompted, turn-by-turn hand hold to your destination, you could save with this older technology
Review: The comfort of GPS can be held in the palm of your hand. Garmin e-Trex Legend provides an affordable GPS for the novice user. The most important thing to know on any trip is where you are now! Only then can you figure out how to get where you are...

my little fishing buddy.

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2002
The Bottom Line: Excellent little unit with good clear screen and packed with features.
Review: I've bought my Legend to use as a navigational tool for boating, and it served me well during the last year. I have use it as a stand alone unit, and also as a receiver hooked up to a laptop. This particular setup is my favorite while in an...

INCREDIBLE TECHNOLOGY

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2002
The Bottom Line: IF YOU WANT A LIGHTWEIGHT ACCURATE GPS THAT CAN DOWNLOAD MAPS AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE GET IT
Review: Until I got this unit I had owned a Magellan. It was a second generation generic GPS.
At the time it was a pretty advanced unit (1996). It was finally time to upgrade and the
options of the newer GPS units took a bit of education.
I...

Nice unit for outdoors...

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: Small, light, great for the hiker or motorcyclist where size and weight are limiting factors. If automotive use required, there are better choices.
Review: I bought this as my first GPS unit. My father owns a StreetPilot, which is MUCH larger, but has an easier (in my mind) user interface and larger display.

The Legend is ultra-small, and because of that it's missing some of the more common...

GeoCaching and Etrex: A Great Pair

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2006
The Bottom Line: All the basic features and a data cable, inexpensive, but keeps up with the big boys.
Review: I was looking for a handheld GPSr primarily for geocaching and decided on the eTrex Legend mainly because it was packaged with a data cable.

What you get:
A serial data cable: a must if you're going to geocache. You'll need to...

An amazing piece of technology

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: Outstanding device! If it had expandable memory, it would be the only GPS unit you'd ever need.
Review: I recently upgraded from a plain-vanilla Etrex because I wanted something that had mapping features. What an amazing device!

This unit is incredibly useful whether you use it for hiking, driving or flying. I've used it for all three...

Excellent GPS unit!

Date of Review:  Mar 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: Easy-to-use, highly recommended. It's getting four stars simply because it's the only GPS unit I've used. I doubt for the money there are many more better than this.
Review: With much trepidation, I finally jumped into the GPS realm with this unit. I had many fears of hard-to-follow instructions and disappointing results. To my pleasant surprise, Garmin came through with flying colors with the eTrex Legend.

Works well.

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: A nice compact unit. I would recommend it.
Review: This is my first GPS and I have been using it for about 4 months now, both with and without MetroGuide USA installed. Most of my use has been in my car.

First, I have been very happy with this unit. I have found it to work quite reliably,...
