Description
Deep foliage, nor canyons phase the rugged the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx. Its high-sensitivity receiver holds a GPS signal in the toughest environments. Similar to the Garmin Legend Cx, this handheld navigator also has a bright color screen, microSD card slot and automatic routing for wherever adventure takes you.

Enjoy Clear Reception
With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, the Garmin 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 the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most.

Expand Your Memory
Adding maps is easier than ever with the Garmin eTrex 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 the Garmin eTrex 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.

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

Other Garmin Legend HCx features:
  • Waterproof, so it can withstand the elements or an accidental dunk in water.

A PERFECT ADDITION TO YOUR TACKLE BOX!

I bought a Legend HCx in March in time for a fishing trip in northern Manitoba. I enjoy fishing with my buddies who are able to find their way around much easier than I am. With the Legend I was able to mark waypoints as well as two tracks on the lake to our favorite fishing spots. Once this was done, I had no trouble finding my way back which was about 15km. The Legend has given me confidence on the lake and will be a great tool to use on other lakes in the future. As a matter of interest, on the second day we were there this year, two boats came in to the dock where we were staying as we were leaving in the morning. We found out later that day that this group were staying at another spot on the lake but had got lost the day before and had spent the night on the lake. They got to where we were by following another boater in the morning. The lake we were on has 1000 miles of shore line so not a good place to get lost on. What they needed was a Legend HCx in their boat...they would have had no trouble finding their way home. Their expensive boats and fishing gear didn't help them do that. The legend is easy to use/read and the manual that is included provides detailed information on all the functions. Buy one, you will love it!

THE REAL DEAL IN GPS

Originally bought a base model Garmin H. Decided to upgrade to the Legend HCx. No regrets, there is so much in this little package. Does everything that I need a GPS to do and it's size makes it easy to take just about anywhere. Highly recommend this model.

Pros: very accurate. long battery life. easy to operate.
Cons: how frustrating, i can't think of one.
Recommend: YES

THE PERFECT HAND-HELD GPS UNIT

This great little handheld has come in handy many times since I bought it. After using an old monochrome-screened Garmin eTrex Legend for a number of years, this was a great upgrade! Satellite discovery is fast, even from in my basement, something I was unable to claim before. The color screen is very sharp, but can be dim if you don't use the backlight. With the backlight on, it is brilliant. The device will also switch to a different color scheme at night for easier viewing in low light so as not to affect your eyes.

The only con I had for the device is the onboard map... It's very limited. It listed none of the surface streets around me save for the highways and freeways that run nearby. I had to buy the City Navigator map upgrade from Garmin to get the full set of maps on the device. Once this is done, however, it's perfect. They also offer a number of other maps, and I'll be getting the national park topographical maps as well next.

Pros: weight, discovery, battery life, color
Cons: onboard map is severly lacking
Recommend: YES

FANTASTIC PRODUCT

I am currently using the Legend HCx with the TOPO Canada maps and it works great! The color screen is easy to read,the functions of the HCx were easy to learn and navigate through. The 2 AA batteries last longer in this unit than I have seen with any other products.

I purchased this item along with the RAM mount for the car as it has turn by turn routing, which paired with the City Navigator maps makes this a great all around portable navigator.

I highly recommend the Legend HCx for hiking trails or driving across North America.

Cheers.

Pros: to many to list
Cons: none that i have noted thus far
Recommend: YES

A VERY NICE UNIT

I have been using an e-trex legend (blue ) for about 3 years geocaching and on ground search & rescue and liked it very much. I had an ond GPS V that I used in the truck for highway trips. To make a long story short the GPS V died so I got the e-trex Legend HCx to replace it. I have used it on a few geocaches and it is very good. I have downloaded all the topo maps of the maritimes on the little memory card (an extra) and have plenty of room for waypoints and tracks. In the future I'll be getting a card with roads and streets as then maybe when I use that function the GPS won't be sending me on shortcuts where there isn't any access to the highway.

Pros: colour screen, easy to navigate
Cons: screen a bit small,
Recommend: YES
