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...

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...

A Great GPS for an Affordable Price!

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2003
The Bottom Line: A great GPS that meets your basic needs. Despite the hard to use interface and sometimes cluttered maps, it is a good buy.
Review: I bought the Garmin Etrex Legend a week ago from Amazon.com for $150 (after a $50 rebate). I have been very satisfied with this GPS ever since I first used it. Being an amateur, have never used a GPS before. But the Etrex Legend proved easy to use...

Never pull over for directions again.

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: Perfect balance of features and cost. It works well when driving/trying to find a place, and excellent in the outdoors, walking around, and traveling long distances.
Review: For men, who have a genetic coding that precludes actions like, say, pulling over to ask for directions, and encourages behaviors such as, say, playing with electronic gadgets and wandering into the woods, this little device called the Garmin eTrex...

Complexity made simple

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2004
The Bottom Line: Easy to use. The tiny push button joystick suits computer literate users. How did I ever live without one?
Review: I've always been interested in Global Positioning System (G.P.S.) technology. Especially since the U.S. Military removed that error correction thing. As far as I knew, what GPS units did, was show the longitude and latitude of the unit. I looked...

Pardon me, Ma?am, but which way is Johnsondale?

Date of Review:  May 30, 2004
The Bottom Line: There are several interesting screens on this device, all of which will keep you happily amused as you wander around, lost, in the mountains.
Review: The Garmin Etrex Legend is a small, very lightweight, handheld GPS navigation device designed for use by hikers, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and the like. The basic package consists of the device itself, a wrist-strap, serial cable for computer...

My first love in GPS world

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: Good for starter in GPS world. Don't buy those GPS without map capability.
Review: I have heard about GPS technology and devices long before finally bought this eTrex Legend in the end of 2002 based on the recommendation of some friends.

At first I was just happy with the built-in Worldmap (mine is Asian version, no US...

Great GPS for the price

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Extrex Legend GPS for those of you who do a lot of hiking. It will help you get back safely.
Review: I bought my GPS 15 months ago. It cost me just under $200 dollars at Wal-Mart. I have been very pleased with what I have got out of my GPS. I use it to go hunting in Utah and I have never had any serious problems with satellite reception. You cann't...

Etrex Legend - buy it for the technology ...

Date of Review:  Sep 15, 2007
The Bottom Line: Recommended
Review: ... not for the build.

The case is shoddy, not what you would expect from this class of instrument. I have had my unit for quite a while now and the black rubber around the edge is glued on; said glue oozes out from underneath the band and...

Great value GPS

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: Might leave you wishing for better, but if you don't NEED lots of features but want something better than the basic GPS, it's not a bad choice.
Review: I've had my Legend for about 2 years now, and It's been a pretty good unit.

When I bought it, it had the best features for the price. It's small, lightweight, easy to use, higher resolution screen than similarly priced units, and map...
