GARMIN's
lowest cost mapping GPS with WAAS!
The
Garmin eTrex Legend includes a built-in Americas
Highway basemap for North, South and Central America, containing lakes, rivers,
cities, interstates, highways, coastlines and interstate exit information (exit
information for USA only). [NOTE: Legend models available outside North America
may contain the Atlantic or
Pacific basemap instead] The
8 megabytes of built-in (non-expandable) memory allows the Legend to accept downloaded
map data from Garmin's entire line of MapSource CDROMs including MapSource MetroGuide
which offers residential street-level detail, addresses and points of interest.
Mapping
detail is presented on a high resolution liquid crystal display (268 x 160 pixel,
FSTN).
The
waterproof Garmin eTrex Legend has a rocker switch on the front which allows for quick and
accurate map panning, as well as selection and enter functions. As a result of
new processing speed, built-in memory and the high resolution display, eTrex Legend
offers full-feature navigation capabilities. Satellite status, navigation displays
and mapping provide details for both the basic and advanced user. Position format
may be selected including Latitude/Longitude, MGRS and Loran TDs. The Legend meets
the IEC 529 IPX7 waterproofness standard (submersible for 30 minutes at a depth
of 1 meter) NB: Electronics are protected if immersed, but battery compartment
may get wet. Make sure batteries and compartment are dry before using.

The
Legend can provide position accuracy to less than 3 metres when receiving WAAS
corrections. |
MARINE
POINTS OF INTEREST!
• Marine navigational
aids (Americas
Marine Points of Interest) are pre-loaded into the built-in
user memory from the factory (not part of the basemap).
• If MapSource data is loaded to the Legend, the preloaded
Marine POI
database will be erased. To recover this data the Preloaded Map
Database file can be downloaded
from GARMIN's web site.
• MapSource data and the Marine
POI database cannot be loaded at the same time.

A Farmer's Comment: "I am very pleased
with the Legend I purchased from you a month ago. It is excellent
for farming as I jump on the Quad, do a quick run around my fields,
and it gives me the exact # of acres. Also while I was air seeding,
I marked any stones I wanted to remove with a waypoint. Yesterday
I went out with the stonepicker, and went right to where they
were. I could never have remembered them without the Legend quiding
me. Most times I would use the map to find the stones, but if
that didn't work, I would click "go to", and it would guide me
right to them and tell me how many minutes/seconds I was away.
I never had so much fun picking stones before!"
