Yeah-- I have a b/w Legend and it's not safe for driving. Too small, not enough detail, too slow to use for point of interests while moving at car speeds.
In the car I pull over and use it for "Where am I?" Not for "Where's my next turn?" while moving... But I agree with others, handhelds are fine if you have a partner. Although mine needs to be near the glass to get a clear view of the sky.
Also--the older b/w Legend does not have any memory card inputs, just in case that's what you're considering getting.
