tianac2 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice here. I just started geocaching about a week ago, and after finding a couple using online tools (maps, Google Earth, etc.), I borrowed a friend-of-a-friend's eTrex Legend to get a feel for hunting with a GPS to get an idea if I wanted to invest in one myself. Problem is, after leaving one particularly frustrating cache site earlier today, it fell out of my pocket while I was getting in the car....and I ran it over So, now I have to replace it before he gets back into town on Sunday, (or at least be in the process of replacing it), but I don't have the $160 to go buy one. So, does anyone know of a place to get a super cheap Legend? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Garmin will repair it (probably actually replace it with a new or factory reman. one) for $99. Check their website for out-of-warranty repair. Not cheap but better than $160. Quote Link to comment
tianac2 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 Thank you so much, I think it is still under waranty, so I'll look into that! Quote Link to comment
GreatCanadian Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Thank you so much, I think it is still under waranty, so I'll look into that! Someone has one advertised here for $80 !! See if that's still available! Quote Link to comment

+Lasagna Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Seeing as you accidentally ran over it with your car ... your auto insurance wouldn't happen to cover it under their property damage liability would they? For $160, it's probably not worth the increase in premium, but you never know. Also, check with your friend first. They may be happy to have you give them cash toward the purchase of a new Legend Cx -- if they were thinking of upgrading soon -- instead of the older model. Quote Link to comment
tianac2 Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Actually, the whole thing didn't go too badly . He was a friend of a friend, so I didn't have to tell him myself (thank goodness!), but apparently he was ok with me just replacing it. I actually ended up buying the one mentioned above for $80 Quote Link to comment
+Nero Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 so, did you also get a gps for your self? or are you borrowing the replacement? Quote Link to comment
+Moore9KSUcats Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Next time, use a lanyard! That has saved MANY a GPSr from an untimely death! Quote Link to comment
