Garmin eTrex Legend

Pros: none!

Cons: no real customer support (UK)

The Bottom Line: unit just locked and could not be switched on or off, customer service dreadful

Review: I bought my camo at field and trek at ambleside,UK. after only 2.5 months it developed a fault (the camo just locked and could not be switched on or off). Field and Trek were very unhelpful, as were Garmin (very rude staff at garmin UK). No...

Pros: Awesome technology

Cons: Poor build

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...

Pros: Simple to use

Cons: "Click Stick" design could have been better

The Bottom Line: I strongly recommend this unit to anyone who travels. I have found it to be a great asset. Garmin did a fantastic job on this one.

Pros: Price and handiness

Cons: No reset button for trip odometer

Pros: The pro's about this product is the simplicity of use.

Cons: The cons of this product would have to be the computer interface cable.

The Bottom Line: The bottom line would be if you are an outdoor enthusiast and you dont already have a GPS receiver, the Garmin eTrex legend is a great unit.

Review: My review is about the Garmin e-trex logend GPS receiver. This is classified as an input device because I can attach it to my computer and transfer data back and forth. I really like this GPS because one, it didn t cost me an arm and a log, roughly...

Pros: Price, size, features, ease of use.

Cons: Control stick, antenna, expensive software.

Review: This unit is about as good as $200 buys. I can't add much new here. As has been said in other reviews, it does not have an external antenna jack, and I think that the eTrex antenna is inferior to the quad antenna in Magellan Sportrak models, and...
