My Wife and i use the Garmin Nuvi 200w. It has the ability to add cords with ease which seeems to be something the Tom-Tom left out. I could be wrong. Its cheap won't set you back too much. I got mine brand new for $200 with the 2008NT maps loaded. Although you don't really want to use this for walking in the woods with the lack of routes. it does allow you to get very close with your vehical and you can zoom and get your bearings and approx distance in mind prior to pulling out the handheld. We have infact found a few cache's with the nuvi alone without leaving the vehical. Its accuracy appears to be using the WAAS <10' as with the handhelds. But the goto feature does not allow off street routing and has a snap to street feature built in.

I have the Older eTrex Vista (pretty much the same as the legend), and my current computer does not have serial port. NO com no printer port. I do have a USB to RS232 adaptor and driver. I have installed it. Do you know what it takes to get the vista recognized. What port settings do i set on the port, and what communication settings do i set the vista to.
