No need to spend more if you are only using it a few times a year. This is a great hiking GPS for the price. It is best to set your location, zoom in and then set the detail to most if needed to avoid lag. The maps can be viewed in 5 stages of detail, and the most detail does tend to load in about 15 seconds as opposed to much quicker for the lesser details.

I have no problem with viewing the screen. The screen is small, but vivid and bright. Some devices, as mine, shipped with a date that is incorrect and unfixable so the calendar feature is useless. This was an issue that could only have been resolved via returning the item within the warranty period and having it reset.

Make sure you download Garmin's drivers and updates for the device.Īlso note, the date will often be wrong AND unfixable on these devices by several years. I find it takes about 2 hours to load 2.5 GB worth of data onto a class 4, 4 GB micro sd card using mapsource (haven't tried basecamp). The additional features tend to eat batteries on the older devices, though, so a Legend is often a good enough device. The Legend does not have a barometer or compass, but does save more waypoints and routes than the Vista. The rubber siding will eventually come unglued with heavy use, primarily in alternating weather extremes. If you are left handed, this device was made for you. The thumb toggle is on the left side of the device making it difficult to extend your thumb to use it. The HCx stands for (H)igh sensitivity from WAAS satellites, (C)olor & e(x)ternal disk space.

Download free topo maps from several locations online and store up to 2.5 GB worth of map data on an external microsd card.

It is primarily a hiking device, and a well built one at that. The WAAS global positioning is accurate to about 2-3 yards within 2 minutes on this device so using it for driving works pretty good. Pick your choice between following the highlighted route or even turn by turn directions when you're driving. Still relevant in 2020, the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx can be loaded up with both topo maps and street maps.
