  1. Thank you. you gave me the exact answer i was looking for.

     

    OK my next question is since the Vista doesnt do autorouting. Which would be the best program to use on PC that does do Autorouting. I know i cant transfer that to the Vista, but i would like to also find a autorouting program to run on the PC.

    Try the NRoute beta from Garmin. I used Version 2.0 on a recent trip to the Smoky Mountains and I was pleased. Version 2.1 looks better. (I already had City Select v6 on my laptop. Using a Legend C.)

  2. Eric,

     

    There is already a firmware upgrade for the Legend C (2.00 to 2.10). Here is what it includes (taken from the Garmin Website):

     

    Added the battery indicator to the title bar on the Main Menu page.

    Corrected problems with the Prompted Route Recalculation page.

    Corrected communication problems with third-party software.

    Corrected display of some long European street names.

    Corrected problems with restoring defaults on the Route Definition page.

    Updated translations.

  3. See this review:

    It is for the Vista C but they are very similar.

     

    I purchased the Legend C just a couple of weeks ago. This is my first GPSr. I'm pleased. Wish it had a slot for a memory card and a way to view a larger screen while driving. But for the money it was the best deal I could find. (I purchased it through eBay. Less than $280 including shipping)

     

    I also purchased Garmin's CitySelect software so I could do autorouting with my Legend C. Used it on a recent trip to Tuscaloosa, AL and it worked great. Now I've got most of NW Louisiana, Western Arkansas, and a small portion of East Texas loaded. That just about filled up the 24 megs of memory.

     

    Part of me wishes I'd paid a few dollars more for the Vista C but instead I purchased a compass for a few bucks. Carry both in a fanny pack while hiking.

     

    What I like about the Legend C is the small size for hiking & geocaching but the added feature of auto navigation. This has been more useful than I had expected.

     

    If you have any questions, I'll be glad to help.
