Garmin etrex advice?

[+tdavis511]

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

Do you really mean a GPSMap 60 or a 60C, Cx, CSx?

 

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

Oops, 60CSx is what I meant. Sorry for that!

I think the 60 CSx is a little better value, but they're quite close in most respects. If the prices are close, go for the 60.

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)
