+aintnorock Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Are you a noob? this unit is perfect for someone just starting with little or no budget. Make me an offer. This is an older eTrex Legend, a discontinued module. I've had it for a number of years and it's seen light use (I've found about 50 caches.) It comes complete with serial cable, a serial to USB cable, serial to USB drivers (You may have to download a driver for Windows 7), original manual (pretty complete as manuals go). Specs- 500 Waypoints Track Log - 10 saved tracks 2500 points Routes - 20 Routes, 50 points each Base map, 8 mb storage if you want to download maps WAAS 2 AA batteries (included). In the spirit of full disclousure, this unit did fade out on me one time. I went to the forum, was referred to this thread http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=183365&st=0&p=3277154&hl=etrex%20screen%20connector&fromsearch=1entry3277154 (See last two replies Link to comment
+Gboyzmama Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Do you know if this unit is compatible with a mac? I ask because I purchased a geomate jr last year and it is not compatible with a mac. Let me know. Thanks! Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It is as long as you can find a way to connect it's Serial cable to your Mac. You may be able to use a serial to USB connector but drivers may be hard to find for a MAC. Link to comment
+aintnorock Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 I can't guarantee use with a MAC because I've never used it with one. It's supposed to be compatible, but not sure. Link to comment
+aintnorock Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 I just googled Prolific drivers and found a MAC driver here: http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?id=31 Link to comment
+tylerebrandon Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I use this same unit with a mac and have some problems. With the drivers mentioned above and a program called GPSBABBLE you should be able to get it to work. Link to comment
+aintnorock Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 this Legend has been sold. Link to comment
