The little GPS engine that could

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: Although this device has some quirks and limitations (see review) I feel that it is highly usable and has worked out great so far.
Review: Ok, so I got this one for Christmas from the in-laws. I usually research my little tinkertoys religiously, but while I had ogled GPS devices before, I had never looked into them seriously before because of cost.

So here are my thoughts...

Absolutely horrible

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: extremely poor software
Review: Things must have changed since 2006 (when the reviews above were written). Maybe Garmin had a round of layoffs or has new management, or is just has too many top priorities to continue making quality GPS units. Anyway, here's my experience:

Nice portable tool for hiking AND driving.

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good value if you need a hiking AND driving GPS unit all in one.
Review: I originally was looking for a GPS tool to aid in trail hiking, but the eTrex offered both trail and driving (turn by turn) capabilities. So now, I can consolidate the two into one gadget.

Value:
As a hiker's tool, it's a good value...

Great portable GPS for hikers, bikers, and hunters

Date of Review:  May 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Garmin eTrex Legend Cx is a great all-around portable GPS unit. If you are looking for a GPS for trip planning, you might want to look at another product.

Great for geo-caching and car navigation

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: Does everything it says it will do. Excellent for portability and as a navigation system.
Review: I recently became hooked on geo-caching, and really wanted a mapping feature. Turn-by-turn directions was a huge bonus and now I'm glad I have that feature because I can use it for navigating in my car. I had never used a GPS in a car before so to...

Awesome for Geocaching

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2006
Review: I received this GPS unit as a Christmas gift, and had to try it out yesterday. It is very easy to use and understand the functions and how to move around the different screens. It picks up satellites quickly and they are reliable (as I found the...

Waste of money.

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2007
Review: OK, I have been a faithful Magellan handheld user for a couple of years. My last Explorist 500 recently died so I picked up the Legend CX. I'd never used Garmin before, but I figured I'd see what they were all about. What a mistake. Setup is...
