Mine did that until I upgraded to 2.6, and I have to say I havent had any accuracy issues yet .. I also find that its easy to match the coordinates once I get close to the cache. I tend to try and walk past and off to the side of the cache .. so I can get the general direction to the cache.. then walk in that direction and keep an eye on the coordinates until they are whats listed .. then look around .. I have tried this several times on a spot that I picked when out walking .. and I think its easier and more accurate then the arrow. I get within 5 feet over 90 % of the time .

Same here so if at least we can tell them it's real they may take a look at it. Problems that are not easily replicable are hard to diagnose and fix. Not to mention, I was on the phone with Garmin today, and the service department says they have had no reports of this , and were clueless .. So, I would highly suggest we all start calling them and letting them know whats going on .., Perhaps ... we could try different things to see if there is a pattern to when it goes off course.. I go think its when its crunching data and we are actively moving. Mine sat still for several hours while I was making a map .. and it seem to be fine .. Has anyone tried turning off WAAS to see if that impacts it in the same way? Randy

Thanks all .. Doesnt seem to have affected it so far .. It did help the issue of the bearing pointer not moving unless I was walking at a certain pace .. which is tooooo fast for geocaching .. Lately I have been making map images from USGS data .. Stupid base maps ... even if it came with something in between base maps and full blown maps would be nice .. So made my own ... LOL ... ( not for the faint of heart either , trust me, I will prolly have a headache for a week now from figuring that one out ) Randy

I think they all ready have. A buddy of mine has MS Trips and Streets on his 60csx and the routing is working on it. I have not tried it yet, but I watched it work on his unit. Do you think MS Trips would work on the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx ?? Randy The software has features to allow you to load it up on the Garmin I assume?

Hi all ... new to the Forums, GPS's and Geocaching .. Is anyone having this accuracy issue with the eTrex Legend HCx ? I just ordered one ... waiting for it .. Hope its not going to have the same issue .. Randy
