Garmin - eTrex Legend HCx GPS System Reviews

I'm very pleased with my purchase of the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx.  I upgraded from the Legend to this device.  It serves my purposes well for Geocaching every day (hopefully).  The battery life is great, I've had to replace batteries about once a month since purchase.  The ease in connectivity with my computer really has impressed me the most.  I would recommend this device for any geocacher, from novice to… read full review »

The Garmin Legend HCx (not to be confused with other Legend models) is a (H) high sensitivity, (C) color display model, with (x) expandable memory. The expandable memory is through separately purchased micro SD cards, up to 2 Gigabyte.

It can easily be used one handed. Some claim that it is designed for left handed people, others for right. Try one in a store to judge for yourself. The things you… read full review »

I wanted to start geocaching but didn't have my own gps.  I borrowed my dad's from time to time, but I hated to bother him.  I found the etrex legend online.  It is the best price for what you get. — It has basic maps with interstates and main highways.  Easy to navigate menus.

When I first started Geocaching, I used my Tom Tom for navigation, but found that it is definately for in car use. I read the reviews on the Garvin E-Trex handheld GPS and was skeptical because of the low price, but it is a name that I have trusted, so I figured I would try it. This is the best little device! Not only can I find my way to specific coordinates, I can get back too! This is acurate within 5-10 feet and has never let me down. It is lightweight, small, and the batteries seem to last an unusually long time. This is perfect for those just starting out or the experienced user. I… read full review »

I really like this GPS. Small, but not too small. Clear and concise directions get me where I want to go. The level of stress around driving has dropped dramatically. Now if everyone would get one and use it , it would be a better, at least safer… read full review »
