Amazon.com Product Description:
With the Legend Cx, Garmin has updated a much-loved device with expandable memory on a microSD card so you can load optional map data for your hiking, hunting, and other outdoor excursions. Add to that a bright, full-color TFT display, automatic routing, and long, 36-hour battery life, and you've got a great companion for your next outdoor or boating adventure.
You can use the Legend Cx's memory card slot with preprogrammed microSD cards from Garmin (sold separately) that provide topographic maps, city streets, and nautical charts. In fact, the unit is compatible with most Garmin MapSource products, including BlueChart, City Navigator, U.S. Topo 24K, and U.S. Topo and Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots. The unit comes preloaded with an Americas autoroute basemap that provides automatic routing capabilities, including highways, exits, and tide data. You can even get turn-by-turn directions when you're driving, and an integrated trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more.
As on all eTrex units, the primary controls are located on the side of the unit, so you can operate it with one hand. An innovative rocker switch on its face makes inputting data easy, and with it you can scroll through menus or pan the map page. Fast USB connectivity makes loading charts and maps quick and easy, while navigation instructions can be shared with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots using NMEA protocols through the dedicated serial port. Additionally, the case is water resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes).
Another key feature of the Legend Cx is the 10,000-point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions. There's also a large-numbers option for easy viewing, as well as a dual-position display mode. Lastly, the unit includes built-in celestial tables for best times to fish and hunt, plus sun and moon calculations.
If you like the features of the Legend Cx but require an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, check out the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx.

Rating: - Great Tool
This is a very useful tool.Software is out there, just have to look for it!
Rating: 
- Old Tech .. Poor Performance
The biggest problem is that the early etrex units (of which this is one) are very low powered.Garmin has upgraded their low end units with an H so you will see the HCx instead of Cx, they are "higher sensitivity".They should have just put an L on the Cx, and called it Lower Sensitivity.I've been very disapointed in the quality of the transmission in a car, compared to Magellan and my Garmin GPS V.These are discontinued for a reason, they don't work very well.

- great gadget
small, easy to use, has provided great enjoyment for my husband and son in their geocaching craze.
Rating: - Nice unit, stable signal and trip computer
I've owned this and the newer model HCX. The HCX locks on to satellites very quickly and hold the signal indoors or in built up areas. Very good for hiking and the like. I mainly use the trip computer functions and the CX is much more consistent and stable for trip data out in the open. Apart from the chips the units are identical. Buy the less sensitive but cheaper CX for canoeing, biking etc. Get the HCX for built up areas and when you don't need an accurate speedo
Rating: - Daily used
I have had this product for three years now and use it on a daily bases.The screen is small, but when you need to take it with you, then it's nice.I have a mount in all of my cars and motorcycle.I only once had a issue with it and had to reset it back to defaults.Well worth the money, just don't forget the streets map software or it's useless.
