5Simple but very functionalMar 21, 2010
This simple Garmin GPS is just right as a starter GPS for campouts, hiking, or geocaching. Very simple on the surface, but it has plenty of features, include road maps, that make it useful every day.

I purchase this 3 to 4 years ago. For the money at that time, it is the best. I even do a little surveying with it and an engineering firm used my numbers without hesitation. I love it!!!!

4Solid GPS for cycling and huntingSep 15, 2009
I've had this GPS for a few years now. It's still a bit more expensive that it is really worth now, as there is an updated model. The Legend has pretty much every feature that you would expect from a hand held unit. The time to acquire enough satellite to navigate is pretty quick, usually less than a minute.

I've found that it is pretty good on battery life. The screen is slow in cold weather, but not unreadable. It works great for finding a deer blind before sunrise. I also like the ability to mount it to my bike to log my rides, then being able to download them using MapSource. The only thing that I'm not real happy about is the poor base map. I ended up loading the NA Topo map and it gave me much better street level data for my rides, and I expect that I'll have better views of the land when hunting.

Overall, I love the Legend. If / when this one dies, I'll definitely replace it with another from the eTrex line.

5Great for what it doesAug 21, 2009
I use my Etrex Legend in my kayaks. The display is sharp enough that with my sunglasses on I can read it even in bright sunlight. The buttons are large enough that I can operate the Legend wearing my paddling gloves. Once it locates its satellites on startup, it doesn't seem to lose them, even when stored in one of my kayak hatches. (By way of contrast, my Merax/Gisteq Phototrakr sometimes resets on a kayak trip.) The only real weakness is a somewhat cumbersome menu system that can be difficult to see in the sunshine. You also need two hands (usually) to operate it. I get about 17 hours from one set of AA alkaline batteries. I've been using it for two years, on the water, with no problems. I don't know how it compares to newer devices, but as long as you don't need maps and only want breadcrumb trails, navigation functions, and speed/time recording, this device does the job. It comes with only a serial cable, so you will probably need a serial to usb cable/adapter if you want to transfer its data to your PC. I like the accessory case for it, and advise buying it.

2Nearly worthlessJun 26, 2009
For nearly 4 years and over 50 countries I had a Magellan Explorist 210. Except for maps, it was very good. I literally always knew my direction, speed and location. I lost it the mountains of Argentina. The Garmin ETrex Legend looks a little fancier, and it has a better (not great) map, but literally everything else is harder to use or inferior.

The obvious first fault is that it doesn't find salelites quickly. When it does find them, it seems to need 5 or (usually) more to find your location. Then nearby buildings, trees, mountains, tent ceilings, and more just shut it down, with a large prompt saying that it was out of satelite range. This prompt blocks much of the screen, making your map nearly worthless. Trying to regain satelites can often take forever. Even on a regular bike trail with few trees, I can not get a good use of the odometer, as the breadcrumbs would look like dashes. Additionally, when I have not moved the GPS for minutes, I keep getting changes in location and especially altitude.

Other concerns are labeling the POIs. Very often when one pushes the save, it does not accept it...a real pain at an intersection while driving. It also only allows about 9 letters/numbers for a description of your POI...not enough. Then it gives such a variety of markers (i.e. park, church, etc, etc), that one can spend minutes finding the most suitable one. The screen is also smaller and harder to read than the Explorist. There are many other complaints. Keeping it short, I strongly recommend that you not buy a Garmin Legend!
