Magellan eXplorist 210 vs Garmin eTrex Legend


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am new to the world of Geocaching and I am looking at buying a GPS unit. I am split between the Garmin eTrex Legend and the Magellan eXplorist 210. Can anyone tell me which one is better?

Welcome to the Forums! :laughing:

 

I am not familiar with the Magellan, but depending on how much the Garmin Legend is, I might recommend you get the discontinued Legend C on eBay. Those connect with the USB cable, instead of using the Serial Port. They are capable of auto-routing, if you buy those maps later. The Legend only has 8 MB of memory for maps. The Legend C is newer technology, color, and has 24 MB of memory. I saw one on eBay for $125.00. :laughing:

The Magellan and the Garmin units are both $150

Before the 60csx I have used my Magellan Explorist 210 for several caches. I loved this device with a great accurancy. I still carry it with me as backup.

 

I have no experience with a Garmin Legend.

That is too much money for a Garmin Legend, unless it is the Legend C. For $150.00, you should be able to get a Vista C on eBay.
