Product Description

GARMIN ETREX Legend GPS Bundle with MapSource US TOPO Software. Garmin has loaded a full basemap of North and South America into one small unit - the eTrex Legend. The Legend is also designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System WAAS. This product will provide position accuracy to less than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections. The eTrex Legend is also equipped with additional memory totaling eight megabytes. The basemap contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national and state highways, railroads and coastlines. The added memory allows the eTrex Legend to accept downloaded map data from Garmin's entire line of MapSource CD ROMs, including Fishing Hot Spots. New to the product design, Garmin will include marine aids to navigation in addition to the basemap. These navigational aids will be pre loaded into each unit from the factory. The Adventure Pack comes with the eTrex Legend HandHeld GPS, PC interface cable, 12 Volt Adapter, Instructional Video and MapSource Topo CD.

My son realy wanted this, becouse my brother has one. I use the 60CSX however and did not research enough before buying the one he wanted. This is a very good kit. Good price and exceptional quality. However none of my computers have RS-232 ports. I did not to think about looking at the connector, becouse I am so use to mine having USB. So I spent $50 and got the adapter, this did not help alot though. We can see the device almost every time, but most of the time it will fail its data uploads. So far I have not come up with a good solution. Once you do get it to upload however it works well. It does not get good reception in the woods or near cliffs, but this is to be expected with the older antenas. So If they would fix the connection problems (PC to GPS) I would rate this 4 stars. If you have an older computer you should not have these problems, just make sure you have RS-232.
