 The Right GPS for my needs! Jul 26, 2010
I took a lot of time making my decision which Garmin to buy for my hiking and boat ventures. I have owned Garmin GPS's for over 15 years. I talked to friends who purchased GPS's in the last couple of years. I read all the reviews I could find. The Garmin eTrex Legend HCx Personal Navigator meets my needs best. I just spend 8 days in the Colorado Rockies' hiking and rafting the Arkansas River. I came home and back loaded my trip to my computer, this was an important part for me, I like to see where I have been, as well as know where I am. I found it easy to use, easy to setup, each to save my track logs and waypoints. The price was also important. One thing to always remember when you buy any GPS you will need to add other items to make it complete for your personal needs: TOPO Map software, extra MicroSD cards, 12 Volt Car Power Cable and Carrying Case.
Great Equipment Jul 19, 2010
My husband and I purchased this for our son to go geocaching. We also purchased the kit to mount it on his bicycle, as he likes to take road trips. He was the last person in his group of geocachers to get a GPS unit and they all love his so much, they always use his. Our friends love it so much, they have decided they are going to replace their Lowrance model with this model. It is very easy to use and very accurate. It gets you within just a few feet of the cache. It seems fairly easy on batteries as well. I highly recommend this.
 Joystick button issue! Jun 27, 2010
I've used an eTrex H for years and decided it was time to upgrade to a newer model that would allow for uploading topo maps. I didn't need all the bells and whistles of the eTrex Vista HCx so it finally came down to the eTrex Legend HCx or the GPS 60CSx. The 60CSx was just a little to bulky for my needs and also doesn't allow for easy one handed operation like the eTrex models. So I settled on the eTrex Legend HCx and ordered one from Amazon to get the best price.
The GPS arrived from Amazon - so far so good. After reading the instruction manual and uploading some detailed topo maps for the Catskill Mountains I was looking forward to trying it out in the hills.
After using it in the hills I can report that the little joystick like button located on the front of the unit is a real PITA. If like me you slip your GPS into your pocket while hiking along before pulling it out every so often you will find that the joystick button gets knocked and has probably saved a waypoint that you didn't expect.
In summary the unit works great technically.....just in practice unless you plan to hold it in your hand ALL the time then expect to have some fun if the joystick button gets knocked about while you hike.
p.s. Notice to Garmin. Please recess it or allow user to disable the joystick button.
etrex Legend Jun 24, 2010
Nice, compact unit. Sturdy and fairly easy to use. The joystick, might be better as a touchpad or some such thing. The accuracy is where this item really shines. All in all a good deal and I will probably warm to it the more I use it.

 Advertising does not emphasize requirement for "optional" maps! May 30, 2010
Unlike the eTrex that finally broke after several years use, this new one comes with a "basemap" that is for all intents and purposes, useless - nothing but interstates and major roads. Buried in the Amazon advert, there is a warning that optional maps are available, but what caught me is that it DOES ship with MapSource, and MapSource with the older eTrex DID contain detailed maps!
I got stuck with having to spend another $80 to get the same level of detail that used to come free . . .
