Manufacturer 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.
