Money well spent. Quick to lock, and easier to use than more expensive models. GPS experienced will find the menu's easy to navigate.
This is my first time buying a GPS unit. I wanted it for mostly geocaching- and then for hiking, biking and running. It has worked great for me. The base map on it are very minimal-so buying the TOPO maps are worth it. Which is why I bought this GPS beca
Garmin e Trex Legend HCx. 5
I bought this unit to geocache with. The ease of transfer from geocache.com to this unit is excellent. It would be a little better with the streets maps added but as it is I am nothing but impressed with the quality and battery life. Geocachers will love!
Great GPS. 5
Best Handheld Yet. 5
This is a great product! 5
Great Unit. 5
We use this for Geocaching and we can easily download from the Geocaching site items for us to hunt in our treks.
Good item, good price. 5
This is a very capable, powerful device. As my first GPS, I don't have prior experience to go with, so keep in mind my review might fit what better what a new owner would be seeing, rather than an experienced person. The instruction manual is somewh
Fantastic reception. This GPS receiver is incredible. It receives satellite signals inside brick buildings, inside my basement... in fact, I've only had it lose the signal once in the 3-4 weeks I've owned it. I'm virtually certain that tree
Excellent gps. This gps unit is excellent. I've had a garmin etrex legend for several years and decided to upgrade to the "hcx". My regular legend would lose "lock" on the satellites a lot, especially under trees. Sometimes it was
Very impressive GPS. This Garmin GPS is far beyond my first one -- an excellent display, great response and ease of use.
ETrex Legend HCx: Solid. I originally ordered the Vista model, not realizing it didn't come with the altimeter and electronic compass. I returned it to my local Wal-Mart (a process which went flawlessly) and re-ordered the Legend. This product is doi
Best Christmas Present Ever! Living in the middle of nowhere it was important to have a product that could maintain a good satellite signal. So far, we have not lost it. Not even in our home!
Garmin products. This product is great. But be prepared, Garmin is not big into customer service, their customer support is attrocious.
A great geocaching tool. I have had a chance to use this on several occasions to locate geocaches and to mark and re-locate my car. It has been right on.
Absolute Best Handheld GPS. This is the BEST handheld GPS unit I've ever owned! It is absolutely perfect for just about everything I need it to do from, driving in the car, fishing, hunting, or just out walking trails. The added memory with the use o
Geocache where are you??? Got this GPSr to help in my hobby of geocaching. Old unit had me circling around 20 feet. This unit is spot on within 0 to 8 feet. Really need to buy the map software to make it useful but with that addition it is a great tool fo
Excellent all-around GPS. This is my second Legend GPS, the other one was not a H model with the superior SurfIII chipset. The only complaint I had with my original Legend Cx was the recent find list was extensive and would take 8 seconds PER ENTERY to sc
All the features I expected and smaller sized. I chose this product after studying the alternatives. This model, the HC(x), has the (H)igh sensitivity chip, the (C)olor screen, and the e(x)pandable memory card slot. As with all GPSr units, you'll hav
Very good product. I HAVE HAD MY GARMIN FOR 2 MONTHS AND LOVE IT MY SON DIRECTS ME ON OUR GEOCACHING ADVENTURES AND HE IS ONLY 12 YERS OLD
Useful and handy. Works very good for geocaching, easy to use.
Excellent for Geocaching. Love this GPS unit! Just started geocaching and I highly recommend this unit to beginners. It's a good starter model with room to grow. I love the size, it will fit in my pocket if necessary and looks like a phone when neede
Great so far. I bought this as a gift for my husband, and neither of us has owned a GPS before. I bought it primarily for geocaching and hiking, and might try to use it for car navigation. The screen is too small for a driver to use, but a passenger could
Useful and handy. I bought this product for geocaching and it does a better job than any other GPS I've used. The color screen with adjustable brightness helps a ton whether you're directly under the sun at midday or in the middle of a pitch bla
Good item, good price. This item is an *excellent* upgrade from my previous model, a blue Legend. After purchasing a $75 map set (unforeseen), this baby does anything I ask of it. As an avid off-roader, this GPS will track where I go and download tracks a
Excellent and versatile GPS that I use for geocaching, driving, mountain biking, and hiking. I previously owned the Venture Cx and the display cracked due to my carelessness in the airline luggage. I upgraded to the new Legend HCx with the high sensitiv
I am very pleased. I had an old GPS III plus, and this one is much faster, clearer, and easier to work with. Very happy with the total price being less than anywhere else.
This is the second mapping GPS I have owned, and it is nearly perfect for my needs. I can't believe how much better this eTrex Legend is than my old eMap unit. First, the bright color display is clear and readable in direct sunlight. My laptop wou
GPS unit works excellent. I tested the accuracy and it was well within spec's. Unit was delivered as promised.
The Legend HCx connected to the satellites from inside the house, car and the metal shed as advertised. Accuracy excellent. Definite improvement to the Legend. You will need to buy a micro flash card. The price was enhanced by $30 off when approved for Am
Let me start off by thanking Garmin for making such wonderful products and Amazon for guiding me too them. Now, on with the review. Ok after looking at various reviews for many a different kinds of gps i had narrowed it down to 2, this of the Vista HCx.
I found this product to all that it was advertised to be and then some. I am very happy with Garmin.
My first GPS device but after loading the North America City Navigator I have a very portable, very powerful navigation device. Whereever I am on the road I can find just what I need. The screen is easy to see, the interface is intuitive, just one neat li
I was very pleased with the Garmin Legend HCx. I am the owner of a Legend Cx (previous model) and bought this as a gift, and the "H" (for High Sensitivity) is a real improvement. I have found using the Cx model that often when driving, if the un
This is my 2nd Garmin. First was the Garmin eTrex Legend which I bought 4 years ago, and is still working! However, the newer chip used in the latest purchase boots up faster, picks up signals faster, and is much more sensitive. Tree foilage has not af
This GPS is unbelievable!!!!!! I can't believe the difference the high sensitivity receiver makes. I recently was in Venice Italy and even in their narrow streets, I never lost satellite reception. You have to ask yourself if someone gives this produ
I bought this unit to replace an older eTrex Legend model that I mount on my bicycle handle bar. As noted by other reviewers the HCx unit has enhanced sensitivity and very long battery life. My rechargeable AA's last at least 5 times longer than in t
I needed a GPS for hiking, and this unit has work out well. It also is excellent as a GPS for auto traveling. Price was right. Fast shipping.
Either you wanna go on road or off road this is the way to go, Great maps, great load times. this thing does everything thing!!. Been doing Geo cashing for a month now and ITs pin point accurate. You can go wrong
This is the perfect GPS for Mountain Biking. Right size, is rugged and with a little inovation I was able to mount it to the stem of my bike using the case that I ordered and some Velcro strips/wraps and it actually looks quite good. It does not look gaud
I purchased a 2008 U.S. Topo Map and a 2 Gig SD card with this product and I am very pleased with the end result. The basic map on the GPS was practically useless but then I bought the product knowing that. I use it primarily for Geocaching right now bu
Having the job that I do, I am constantly in and out of buildings and vehicles, as well as on land and water and under thick tree cover. This Garmin has worked better then the other oen I owed and the two others that I was giving to by my employer. This
I got over the small screen because the color and detail was so much better than my old one. And it very quickly locked onto satellites, even inside my house, which my old one could not do. But I needed it to transfer live GPS data to my laptop, running
I upgraded from the original eTrex Legend to the HCx. It's a major improvement. Time from power on to acquisition of enough satellite signals was several minutes with the original. The HCx is slow the first time you change geographical area, but subs
I've used it out in the rain while hiking and it had very clear reception, I have used it a few other times as well and it works great!
this gps is easy for anyone to run. it works great on trails with riding my bike; however its beeps for giving directions in very quiet. other then that i have no complaints about this item.
Unit works great. It even picks up satellites indoors and does not loose them once they have been quickly acquired. Much better than the regular Etrex model that loose the satellites in heavy tree canopy or indoors. Color screen is a bonus with the abi
