Summary: do not buy this unit
Comment: I have been trying to unlock the city navigator NT that was purchased with this unit. I have tried everything I know. The web site is terrible and trying to email product support does not work. Buy something else. This is terrible.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: Good product. Picks up signal very well.
Only problem it only works with Garmin maps.

Summary: Not the Vista
Comment: Interesting story ... but I'll keep it short. I bought an E-Trex Vista Hcx back in March, but lost it on my very first kayaking trip in September! Well, I liked it so much, I ordered another one ... very pleased that I was able to save $40 on the one I purchased in March. But, when it came in the mail, I noticed it was a different color. Anyway, I eventually realized I had made a bone-headed mistake and purchased an eTrex "Legend" Hcx instead of the "Vista." No wonder it was cheaper! Anyway, I'm still very happy with the Legend and the only difference, that I can tell, is the Legend doesn't have the Barometric Altimeter or the Electronic Compass (which means you don't have to be moving to get a reading). Four stars instead of five only because it seems the Legend Hcx doesn't find satellites as quickly as the Vista Hcx ... but that just may be my particular unit. On the positive side, when I called Garmin and explained my story, they gave me another unlock code for my City Navigator NT 2008. I was very pleased with Garmin's customer service and the fact that I didn't have to spend another $100ish on a map.

Summary: Better then great
Comment: Having the job that I do, I am constantly in and out of buildings and vehicles, as well as on land and water and under thick tree cover. This Garmin has worked better then the other oen I owed and the two others that I was giving to by my employer. This one has alot more bells and whistles on it then my last Etrex Legend(the blue one). The color option/brightness is great for both day and night. Battery life is awesone. the only thing I wish is that it had a better detailed map of the highways(but like anything else you always have to pay for upgrade programs). It takes less time then the etrex legend to boot up and lock on to satalites. Well worth the investment

Summary: Very Pleased!
Comment: I purchased a 2008 U.S. Topo Map and a 2 Gig SD card with this product and I am very pleased with the end result. The basic map on the GPS was practically useless but then I bought the product knowing that. I use it primarily for Geocaching right now but in the very neat future I will be using it for scouting and hunting also and hopefully it will serve me as well for those purposes.

Deep foliage, nor canyons phase the rugged eTrex Legend HCx. Its 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.
