The Garmin eTrex Legend CX is a complete map of the Americas that fits in your hand. It's got a full basemap of North and South America, and you can add to that with the 32MB MicroSD slot. You'll get the most precise GPS positioning for your travels, through the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). Never get lost again! Celestial tables for best hunting and fishing times Includes USB cable and bike mount
From Amazon.com:
With the Legend Cx, Garmin has updated a much-loved device with expandable memory on a microSD card so you can load optional map data for your hiking, hunting, and other outdoor excursions. Add to that a bright, full-color TFT display, automatic routing, and long, 36-hour battery life, and you've got a great companion for your next outdoor or boating adventure.

 The Legend Cx features a bright color screen, 36 hour battery life, microSD card maps, and more. |
As on all eTrex units, the primary controls are located on the side of the unit, so you can operate it with one hand. An innovative rocker switch on its face makes inputting data easy, and with it you can scroll through menus or pan the map page. Fast USB connectivity makes loading charts and maps quick and easy, while navigation instructions can be shared with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots using NMEA protocols through the dedicated serial port. Additionally, the case is water resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes).
Another key feature of the Legend Cx is the 10,000-point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions. There's also a large-numbers option for easy viewing, as well as a dual-position display mode. Lastly, the unit includes built-in celestial tables for best times to fish and hunt, plus sun and moon calculations.
If you like the features of the Legend Cx but require an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, check out the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx.
What's in the Box
Legend Cx unit, 32 MB microSD card, USB interface cable, MapSource Trip and Waypoint Manager CD, lanyard, owner's manual, and quick-start guide.

Great Tool - |
Garmin eTrex Legend CX Color Mapping Handheld GPS Review |

This is a very useful tool. Software is out there, just have to look for it! |

Old Tech .. Poor Performance -  |
Garmin eTrex Legend CX Color Mapping Handheld GPS Review |
|
The biggest problem is that the early etrex units (of which this is one) are very low powered. Garmin has upgraded their low end units with an H so you will see the HCx instead of Cx, they are "higher sensitivity". They should have just put an L on the Cx, and called it Lower Sensitivity. I've been very disapointed in the quality of the transmission in a car, compared to Magellan and my Garmin GPS V. These are discontinued for a reason, they don't work very well.
NOTE: If you want maping, you must spend another $100.00 or so for mapping software (either Topo or Streets). So add that to your expense when looking for a low end Geocaching GPS. |

Nice unit, stable signal and trip computer - |
Garmin eTrex Legend CX Color Mapping Handheld GPS Review |
|
I've owned this and the newer model HCX. The HCX locks on to satellites very quickly and hold the signal indoors or in built up areas. Very good for hiking and the like. I mainly use the trip computer functions and the CX is much more consistent and stable for trip data out in the open. Apart from the chips the units are identical. Buy the less sensitive but cheaper CX for canoeing, biking etc. Get the HCX for built up areas and when you don't need an accurate speedo |

Garmin eTrex Legend CX Color Mapping Handheld GPS Review |
|
I have had this product for three years now and use it on a daily bases. The screen is small, but when you need to take it with you, then it's nice. I have a mount in all of my cars and motorcycle. I only once had a issue with it and had to reset it back to defaults. Well worth the money, just don't forget the streets map software or it's useless. |
