Garmin eTrex Legend HCx ... high-sensitivity receiver holds a GPS signal in the toughest environments. Similar to the Legend Cx, this handheld navigator also has a bright color screen, microSD card slot and automatic routing for wherever adventure takes you.

With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, eTrex Legend HCx locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear - whether you're in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on Legend HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most.

Adding maps is easier than ever with Legend HCx's microSD card slot. Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD cards with MapSource data for your land and sea excursions. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Legend HCx provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet.

Like the rest of the eTrex series, Legend HCx is lightweight and compact - the perfect size for all your travels.

... although It does lack features of a dedicated sat nav. It is waterproof so ideal for outdoor use, this is especially handy on the bike. It doesn't float but I don't intend on riding through anything that deep!! It is bluechart compatible so thats another use for it if you purchase the marine maps, which I have and the detail is great. The games are fun the first time but you soon get bored and you do look a bit weird running round a field chasing imaginary geckos! The included mapsource software is nothing special but i...more

This is a tough, well designed and compact handheld gps device. Personally I use this for mountain biking, with the GB Topographic map, and find that it accomplishes what I need it to do very well and is extremely accurate. It has a microSD slot which is great, I have a 2gb card and you can easily fit the whole of the GB topo map onto it. Ok so the road routing may not be great but I did not even consider using it in the car when I ordered it. However it does a perfectly acceptable job of navigating for me, although It does lack features of a dedicated sat nav. It is waterproof so ideal for outdoor use, this is especially handy on the bike. It doesn't float but I don't ... Read the complete review

Cheap, versatile GPS unit (177 words)

Good value unit with mapping. It locks on quickly and reliably and you'll never get lost again. Also has all the features you're likely to need if you buy it with a City Navigator NT map. There are some problems: the bicycle mounts are poor quality so the unit rattles insufferably in them and may even switch itself off. People have used black insulating tape to pad out the mount, or buy a more robust aftermarket RAM mount which cradles the whole unit. Auto-routing (the follow road navigation option) works like a car satnav but sometimes picks blind alleys, forcing U-turns, and generally the routing is worse than a human could achieve with a map and a ...
