I purchased the etrex legend and took it back. Even with WAAS on it never got me close to the cache, in addition it constantly lost the signal. Even though I just purchased it the software was copywritten in 2004. I have a 7 year old GPS V which seems to work better than the legend. I am going out again tomorrow to look again.
I really appreciate all the input from everyone and maybe if I was more patient I could have made the entrex work. There were two problems first we were going out of town for two weeks and secondly I found out the store we purchased from had a 15 day return policy.
Consequently I returned it before our trip but upon returning I purchased an explorist 210, this seems to be working out quite well. It has not lost coverage yet even though we have occosionally chased a few ghosts.
We probably had a defective etrex and if we got another one it may have worked out just as well for us. My sister just purchased the exporist 500 and we can't see much diffeerence except for the color. Thanks again.
