Garmin 12XL - Advice for Dad


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have experience with this model. My dad was asking about it, sale price it is in the range of the Etrex Legend (without the rebate). Was just wondering pros/cons of this model. My experience is with the yellow Etrex -so was especially looking for comments from fellow cachers who might have used both.

 

Advertized as being excellent under tree cover -was wondering if this was true? Let me know positive or negative and I'll pass on your advice.

 

Thanks.

 

If it weren't for geology, you'd have nothing to stand on.

I have the basic 12 and love it. That said, it's a bit dated now and is showing it's age. The 12XL uses 4 batteries while the Legend uses 2. The Legend has a tracklog of 2048 points vs 1024 for the 12 XL. They both have the same antenna so reception under trees should be the same.

 

For a comparison of features look at this web page on Garmin.com
