+Barefoot Parrothead Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 (edited) That's what I have got to spend for right now. I want to know what would be the best one I could get for 100.00. Keep in mind, I am a mom of 4 kids. I'm not gonna be traveling all over the world. This is just for fun. I don't need the dings and whistles. Thanks for any advice you might have.

+letmein Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Whatever you get, make sure it has a cable that you can connect your GPSr to a computer. It gets very tedious typing in all the coordinates by hand, and mistakes will be made that will lead you to the wrong spot. I think you can get an Magellan Explorist 210 for that price. I can't say if it is the best you can do. Quote Link to comment
+fastforty Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 We picked up our Etrex Legend (with cable) for $119 through WalMart's online store, with free site-to-store shipping. Quote Link to comment
+DENelson83 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 How about the eTrex H? That's a pretty simple unit, and it has high sensitivity to boot. Quote Link to comment
sanramonhunter Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 The etrex legend is on sale right now at costco.com for 99.99. Comes with the pc interface cable. Quote Link to comment
RV'n Iowans Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Some retailers are closing out various Magellan units, probably in anticipation of adding the new Triton series. I picked up an eXplorist 100 for $35 at Wal-Mart in August. Darn good GPSr for the price, but it's hand enter coords only Dick Quote Link to comment
M&Mz Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 99.00 is a great deal! What street maps can you load on the Legend? I have a copy of City Nav 2008 NT. Will that work? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 99.00 is a great deal! What street maps can you load on the Legend? I have a copy of City Nav 2008 NT. Will that work? Thanks! The Legend has only 8 MB of memory. You can load a wider area of Topo maps on it, but I don't know if you could fit more than one CN map tile on that little bit of memory. The area covered would be very limited. I don't think you would want to waste an Unlock Code on a Legend, either. For the OP, keep in mind that the less-expensive units connect to a computer with the Serial port. If you have a laptop, or other newer computer that only has USB connectors, you will have to purchase the Serial to USB adapter . . . and some of those work, others are not so good.
