Has anyone got/used these? I'm looking at getting a small handheld GPS (So I can use in the boat and Fourby), and the Legend looks a bit better than the standard eTrex. Am just looking at the B&W one, not the colour.

Any info or comments would be appreciated.

If the etrex isn't up to spec for you you're probably better off gettind the GPS72 or even the GPS76.
IMO ;D

I to have been chasing one of these as the are discontinued now the reason I am after one is it can take a data card.
That way i can put the Blue Chart card in for the boat and then when in the car can slip in the City Navigator with the new C versions you will have to load up your software each time as the memory may not take both lots of software.

I have had a 72 for about a year now and it is a top little HH GPS. Easy to use and very durable floats and is water proof. Good on batteries and evenb comes with a 12volt option. Saw one the other day in boating bias mag for 249. The 76 gives you a map option I think and they cost around 349 both are really good.

Will just have to go into a shop and have a look at them all I guess... The 76 looks the goods!
