 Great hiking gpsOct 03, 2009
I got this GPS for a trip out west to climb in the tetons. It's knowledge of exits on the interstate proved more useful than I anticipated on the 1700 mile drive. Overall, I think this device works very well in the woods. Takes a minute or two to find itself initially, but very fast after that.

Compact and reliableJun 11, 2009
I purchased the Garmin eTrex Legend CX exclusively for ice fishing. It works great with no problems. The battery life is good depending on usage. Also I like the fact that is it compatible with the pre-programmed SD cards like the Garmin 010-C0458-00 Inland Lakes Data Card for the Northeast U.S.. Just slide in the card and it is ready to use, no downloading or installation required. The only issue I get frustrated with is that the initial start-up of the unit takes about 5 minutes to find the satellite signal in my area. That may be because I use he full detail feature. However when the signal is found, it stay's acquired and is never lost. I am able to program and mark fishing hot spots so I know where I need to go when I go back on the lakes.
The unit is very lightweight, easy to carry and the colored LCD is bright and easy to read (even in sunlight). The rubberized housing makes it easy to hold and not slip out of your hands.
Some great optional accessories you may want to consider are:
GARMIN 010-10314-00 Carrying Case
Sony Power Battery Charger with 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries
GARMIN 010-10563-00 12V Adapter Cable

Garmin eTrex Legend CXApr 17, 2009
Great product - I recently used it to map remote waypoints in Ecuador, South America. Also, loading waypoints from a friend's Garmin GPS was seamless. I am very happy with this GPS - great price and great service from vendor.

Great for MilitaryFeb 06, 2009
I am in the Army, currently in Iraq, you can change it to read MGRS witch is what we use and it will tell you the grid in military terms. It has other usefull abilities that I can use when I get back to the world. Im sure I will use it even when Im not in Iraq, I like going outdoors and it came with a disk of Map of the Americas. and all the accsories you need. Great product.
