Garmin eTrex Legend HCx Personal Navigator

Splendid and versatile GPS that I usage for geocaching, driving, slew biking, and hiking. I previously owned the Venture Cx and the display cracked due to my carelessness in the airline luggage. I upgraded to the young Legend HCx with the high sensitivity receiver and this unit significantly outperforms the older units. The new receiver fixes your emplacement much faster and provides much amend signal coverage. I noticed this equally soon as I turned the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx Legend HCx on, equally I was able to have a prepare inside my house.
The expandable memory option (Cx) of the etrex series allows you to shop a tremendous total of map info. I installed the TOPO and City Navigator Mapsets for the integral country of CA and I am able to switch between mapsets. When I am on the trail, I “hide” the other mapsets and “show”/use the TOPO mapset. When driving on the road, I switch to Metropolis Navigator to induce act by turn navigation to my destination.
The alone cons nigh the etrex series is that they have a small screen to view while driving and the menus/control button configuration are complex. I received to install my unit decent on the pointing column for driving. It brought me awhile to ascertain and exercise wholly the features of the Metropolis Navigator and to switch between mapsets. But, for a pocket size all around GPS with splendid battery life, these are acceptable compromises.
