Review on 🗺️ Enhanced Garmin Etrex Legend GPS Receiver by Greg Baker

After looking at various Garmin models (Vista, Summit, Geko, Venture and some Magellans) I settled on this device, not because it's a real one important device is that will depend in my life, but something new and interesting (e.g. geocaching, travel etc.). I first thought about getting a handheld GPS a few years ago, and at the time it was $300 for a base model with almost no price tag. many features like this. The reason I chose Legend over other models and brands was this: 1- price + discount. 2- 8 MB internal memory 3- preloaded road maps. These three pretty much sum up the legend. It may not be the smallest, but I was very impressed with the gadget. When I first took it outside, it took me about 4-5 minutes to boot up, get used to tracking satellites and doing everything it does. And after he did that, the accuracy rating dropped from 300ft to 18-20ft, which is what I usually get to read. Yesterday was the first time he picked up a WAAS satellite and I saw an accuracy of 8 feet. For some reason I don't understand the WAAS connection very well, but I'll add from what I've read that there are two bugs swimming there at the moment, and they're both over the equator and over opposite hemispheres and are in the state of Pennsylvania. It can be a bit tricky to see it well on the horizon, but even without that, 20-foot accuracy is good enough for geocaching. mine, turned it on and saw the precision and other cool features underneath as well as the 3 digit second division display (of 2), he loved it. He even told me that the next trip he took he got mad at his, expecting better reception, left it in the woods and wanted to buy one like mine. I read that some people have reception problems. I've never had a problem, mine catches 4 to 5 sat while inside!. Accuracy inside is about 30 feet, but who cares, I'm inside right? Another feature I like is the trip computer, it calculates current speed, average speed, altitude (based on GPS satellites, not a sensor like Summit), compass, trip meter, it even splits stop time and trip time up while driving. (Ever wanted to know how much time you spend at red lights while going to work? It will tell you). And the best real-time map. It plots your route on the map as it scrolls with your vehicle or path. The reason for 4 stars and not 5. Small is that you have to spend a lot more money for the small roads that you have to load from the company CD. . But the cool thing is I can plug it into a laptop running Microsoft Streets and it will talk to that program so I don't have to load a CD into the GPS. Great gadget at a great price, especially with . Discount if I bought it.Extra. Allow some time to figure out how to enter waypoints/locations and use them for navigation (not to mention the time it takes to manually enter coordinates with the joystick or pan the map to enter them).
