These are perfect for my weed spraying business. Tracks every step-measures acres-marks bad spots-measures distance-does everything I need and is very light. I love this GPS!!!
Great product - I recently used it to map remote waypoints in Ecuador, South America. Also, loading waypoints from a friend's Garmin GPS was seamless. I am very happy with this GPS - great price and great service from vendor.
I am in the Army, currently in Iraq, you can change it to read MGRS witch is what we use and it will tell you the grid in military terms. It has other usefull abilities that I can use when I get back to the world. Im sure I will use it even when Im not in

Awesome for Geocaching. Pros: Color! Ease of use! Cons: Only thing I think is it comes with a small SD card (64mb) jochsner23's Full Review: Garmin eTrex Legend® Cx Handheld GPS Receiver I received this GPS unit as a Christmas gift, and had to tr
Real Nice! Pros: cool device Cons: price, takes a little while finding satellites Review: It's an awesome GPS. This gadget is great for hiking. They probably make better products out there, but i don't see a reason for paying more when this thing
Nice portable tool for hiking AND driving. Pros: Compact, good battery life, good display. Cons: No voice directions; joystick handling requires precision. Included data card is small. The Bottom Line: Good value if you need a hiking AND driving GPS unit
Pros: Build quality is excellent. Screen is very clear and unit receives a good signal, even inside my house. Lots of rubber to protect the case. Brightness adjustment has many levels to see better or save battery. Mine (as with previous poster) also came
Pros: Great screen and easy to use. All the features I needed, plus expandable memory! Great battery life (get some AA nimh rechargers). Very compact and sturdy. Cons: It appears the screen may scratch pretty easy... likely the case with most devices. I m
I have had this product for three years now and use it on a daily bases. The screen is small, but when you need to take it with you, then it's nice. I have a mount in all of my cars and motorcycle. I only once had a issue with it and had to reset
Very good, simple, and compact. A good addition to a 24k topo and compass. Redundancy and durability are important for eastern forest bushwackers.
I had the regular Legend for a couple of years and really liked it. It did everything I needed and I thought the screen was very sharp. I didn't think the color model was worth the extra money until I saw how much nicer the display is in person - it
Garmin eTrex Legend CX Color Mapping Handheld GPS WOW Are we enjoying this product. I already own two Garmin GPS products and this is truly a LEGEND. It is very easy to use and the screen is just right. It pin points our position everytime so it is right
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 routab
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 L
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 u
I think this is the best value for a handheld GPS, it is true that Vista CX has an additional barometric altimeter and electronic compass (that allows you determinate North when you are not moving), also is true that Nuvi's have greater screen, but V
I ordered the microchip versions of the charts I need, and this GPS provides me with all the information I need to navigate and fish safely and easily. It also has built in (pretty good) road maps, so we use it on long trips to estimate distances to inte
I have had this for about 1 month now. I bought it mostly for geocaching. It is easy to use and has been very accurate. I am very happy with my choice.
I bought this as a gift for my husband who has already spent hours playing around with it (and not even in the woods yet). It seems to be a very high quality product. The company's customer service is very responsive.
I use this for geocaching along with my iBook(mac) and it does meet my standards. Works with my iPod also for paperless geocaching.
The product arrived well before its estimated date and in very good condition. The product had all of the features advertised and was just what I needed.
I purchased this item as a gift. The purchasing process was great and the recipient is very happy with the product.
After reading countles reviews, I found the Legend Cx was the best entry level low cost solution. I am able to use every function on the device flawlessly after about 20 hours of reading the manual and testing it out. Do not expect to pick it up and simp
This is my 1st GPS & I've found it relatively easy to learn to use. All controls are laid out comfortably. The color screen is easily visibile day & night. Navigating from waypoint to waypoint or designated addresses takes only seconds to rec
My first GPS was Garmin's iQue (Palm PDA + GPS) and it was a disappointment mainly because of its VERY limited battery life. This little gizmo is just great. It is responsive - meaning that it powers up quickly and locks to sattelites in a decent tim
This is my first GPS so wasent really sure what to expect. But after playing around with the legend cx, i was pretty impressed with all the stuff it can do. Its pretty accurate and easy to operate. Some downsides to it is it loses signals sometimes when i
I have the previous version of this product with a fixed 24 MB of memory. I am very happy with it except for the storage. I think this is the same item only with an expandable memory. It is small, so you can use it on the street. Easily fist into your poc
Finally, the perfect handheld GPS. The addition of microSD cards to the eTrex line has made the ultra portable unit the perfect companion to carry with you on all your adventures - land, sea, or trail. Although the unit comes with a 64mb card, I purchased
I found this to be the perfect balance between portability and car usage. It's bright enough and colorful in the car, yet small enough to carry around with you on a hiking trail. It takes a while to get a signal when it's starting cold, however,
I think I have owned two GPS units in the past...but, needed a new one to help navigate the backcountry while snowmachining here in Alaska. After purchasing the Topo map series, learning how to save the maps to my unit via the flash card, I am so in love
I've been using the Legend CX for about a week, and am very happy with it. I bought it as an upgrade to the original eTrex Legend, which I've had for a couple of years, because it has a colour screen and expandable memory (and a USB connection i
I bought this along w/ a 256 MB microSD card. Using MapSource US Topo, you can fit nearly half of the western US maps into the unit. The screen is bright and easy to read while on foot, but it is fairly small for in car use. Also, if you have the "To
Pros: Works very well. It can lock satellites indoors! The navigation screens make it almost too easy to go to waypoints. It's very small in size. Cons: Has some trouble in the trees, but I knew that when I bought it. The manual is skimpy, as usual,
Pros: Very easy to use the menu system. Overall this is very easy to operate. Also it is extremely waterproof... The first time I used this was in a heavy rainstorm to measure elevation differences for a water system. Cons: Included basemap isn't the
Pros: Great for geocaching. Cons: Nonw
Pros: Color screen, expandable with transflash, friendly interface, battery life is great, lots of points of interest, great for interstates and finding exits. Cons: standard map set is not very detailed. Basically just interstates and some states roads.
Pros: This GPS has an excellent color display. The battery life has been excellent even with using backlighting. The GPS is easy to use for routing your trip and finding local gas stations or resturants with Metroguide US installed. Cons: A case should be
Pros: Great GPS! Easy to use. Great battery life (about 36-48 hrs w/ GPS receiver on and about 150 hrs with unit on but Gps receiver off) Tough case and screen, been dropped a few times and not a scratch on the screen. Workes great under lots of tress. Co
I have owned the Legend (monochrome) model for a couple of years now. I use mine mostly for backpacking and day hiking. I wanted to upgrade to a newer unit with more memory, faster processing and a color screen. I decided to buy the LegendCx based upon go
We bought our first Legend Cx unit last spring to take along for hiking and geocaching. It proved to be so popular with my kids that I rarely got to use it. We bought a second unit as a gift for our older son so hopefully I will get to use it more this
Pros: I buy a lot of GPS products. I would never stray from Garmin. I buy them for gifts for friends and for use at work. There's nothing better for the price. Cons: None Other Thoughts: None.
After using the eTrex Legend GPS unit from a friend during a recent trip I knew I had to get one for myself. After checking the available models I decided to go with the Legend Cx (an alternative model would have been Venture Cx, but I did not like the co
