Garmin eTrex Legend CX Color Mapping Handheld GPS
WOW Are we enjoying this product. I already own two Garmin GPS products and this is truly a LEGEND. It is very easy to use and the screen is just right. It pin points our position everytime so it is right up todate no matter where we are. We went to a remote area of Georgia hunting and we were able navigate easily. I truly recommend this product.

This is my first GPS device. I like it and use it everytime I go anywhere new. I like the ergonomics and ease of use, nothing really complicated, you can basically fire it up and start using it without even reading the directions. Keep in mind you will want more memory and Map software to go with it.

Comment:
I was very surprised by the quality of this GPS. I bought it for a recent trip to England (had to send it to a friend in the USA and then here by UPS) and used the MetroGuide Europe 8 maps that I found online with a little trick that means them GPS routable. It worked great and got me to all the places (on foot) that I wanted to see. I did however have some qualms about it:
1. The autorouting doesn't distinguish good areas from bad, which can be a problem in London as you're happily following the directions in the late afternoon and suddenly find yourself in an council housing estate area full of hoodies staring at you. Nothing happened, but I felt very uncomfortable.
2. Whenever I told either MapSource or the GPS to find me a pedestrian route between (even nearby) cities it seemed to give up and told me to go on a motorway. Not being completely crazy, I took the bus instead and never noticed any pedestrian ways near motorways outside of cities. This remains a mystery. More so since it gives you the route like it were good instead of saying "sorry, can't do that."
Otherwise though, this is a really good GPS that performs better than I had expected.

I guess the picture of the unit with streets in the the image
made me suppose that is what you get. Apparently you do not. All you get is the main roads so once you zoom into your neighborhood you get a blank screen. To buy the street maps from Garmin cost $140 just for N. America. Looks like I should have just stuck with my laptop and Google maps. The Garmin web site is poor. I tried updating my software. Although I hit the update software it baulked because there were already files of the same name. Even after clicking "ok" the update box to extract the files never disappeared or changed to say it had correctly updated. I was left wondering if it had.
