+tdavis511 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I am considering buying a new Garmin etrex Legend HCx or a Garmin gpsmap 60. Can someone who has used both, give their input as to which would be better. I will be using it mostly for geocaching and hiking. Thanks, Troy Quote Link to comment

If you really do mean a plain 60, go for the Legend HCx for sure. Quote Link to comment

If the prices are close, go for the 60. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Actually you get the barometric altimeter and electronic compass with both the Vista and GPSMAP 60CSX. So comparing the Legend with the 60, go with the 60. (or the Vista) Quote Link to comment
