Garmin eTrex Legend

From Criswell
Positive:
1) It is able to read through the window of a bus
2) It has buttons where my fingers naturally fall
3) It has a very simple straightforward menu system < #3 good>.

Negative:
1) It does eat a lot of batteries
2) The display is not very bright at all
3) The click stick is rather tough to maneuver with gloves on

From Batman1984

Positive:
1) Takes Maps
2) Big pointer… my eyesight isn’t real good because of diabetes.
3) All the info I can bring up about an area…. gas stations, fast foods.. ect
4) Rugged and Waterproof

Negative:
1) Eats GPS food too quickly…. I need a Legend C!!!!
2) Hard to see when light conditions aren’t great to put in cords…. back to the bad eyesight again!
3) I need 2 more of them so my wife and daughter have one…. so we won’t be fighting on who gets to carry it to the cache! ( I know that this one didn’t count…. but couldn’t think of a third one.)

From CoronaKid
Positive:
1) Accuracy – It is very accurate when you have decent satellite coverage.
2) Rugged and durable – I’ve had mine for over 3 years and it is still going strong!
3) Storage – You can store over 1000 waypoints if you load in the latest firmware from Garmin. Plus you can load updated maps.

Negative:
1) Rubber Casing – Rubber exterior may start sliding off after a couple years.
2) Design – Buttons were made to be used by a right hander and I just happen to be a left hander.
3) Satellite signal – It is very hard to get a good satellite signal in tree coverage.
