The Legend Cx features a bright color screen, 36 hour battery life, microSD card maps, and more. | You can use the Legend Cx's memory card slot with preprogrammed microSD cards from Garmin (sold separately) that provide topographic maps, city streets, and nautical charts. In fact, the unit is compatible with most Garmin MapSource products, including BlueChart, City Navigator, U.S. Topo 24K, and U.S. Topo and Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots. The unit comes preloaded with an Americas autoroute basemap that provides automatic routing capabilities, including highways, exits, and tide data. You can even get turn-by-turn directions when you're driving, and an integrated trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more. As on all eTrex units, the primary controls are located on the side of the unit, so you can operate it with one hand. An innovative rocker switch on its face makes inputting data easy, and with it you can scroll through menus or pan the map page. Fast USB connectivity makes loading charts and maps quick and easy, while navigation instructions can be shared with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots using NMEA protocols through the dedicated serial port. Additionally, the case is water resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes). Another key feature of the Legend Cx is the 10,000-point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions. There's also a large-numbers option for easy viewing, as well as a dual-position display mode. Lastly, the unit includes built-in celestial tables for best times to fish and hunt, plus sun and moon calculations. If you like the features of the Legend Cx but require an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, check out the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx.
What's in the Box
Legend Cx unit, 32 MB microSD card, USB interface cable, MapSource Trip and Waypoint Manager CD, lanyard, owner's manual, and quick-start guide.

Compact and reliable June 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

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.

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.
