[RC] re: Garmin etrex legend - Cindy CollinsInteresting thread...my husband and I own three GPS units. I own a Legend, he owns a Vista, and I recently bought a little garmin foretrex 101 wrist model. What I can tell you is that I have had very good luck with using mine, leaving it in my shirt pocket. I know that both Tom Noll and I have used our GPS models and have enough BigHorn 100 coordinates that we could ride the trail using our GPS even if we did not know the trail. Occasionally there is a waypoint that's off due to poor signal, but you can look at the map and make sense of it. I used mine on portions of both the 01 and 04 XP and honestly, every time I went the wrong way it was because I questioned my GPS and didn't believe it. Obviously, living out here in Wyoming I don't spend a lot of time with a thick canopy of trees, but my GPS accurately mapped the canyons of the BIg Horn. At home I use my little wrist model when I condition or hike. It tracks my speed, mileage, elevation and maps out a little trail. It's a neat toy and I also think it's great for safety. I always have my gps and my cell phone on my body (not the horse) since I ride alone much of the time. Hopefully, if I am dumped and too hurt to get home, I can get help. Good luck with your GPS.
