Nice little unit. I have the older black and white version. Love the small size. More pocketable than my other 60CSx.

Thata a nice unit. Does it go blank and lock up untill the batteries are removed? I should have saved a little more for a color unit instead of the eTrex Legend (B/W). Seems much easier to read and has more memory and a better cable interface.

This is an excellent hobby. Land/sea navigation has gotten to the point that it’s specialized. Few people know map reading, shooting a bearing or using something as archaic as using a compass.
We used to do that in the scouts, but this is a nice modern spin on a pretty handy skill.
I use an HC and I have to admit it, it’s fun.

I have the Legend HCx and am having difficulty with it. I am new at geocaching and the user manual is not great. Do you follow the pink line to the cache or do you use the compass, b/c the compass takes me in completely different direction. Went with other cachers yesterday, using the older model legend b/w and found 3 caches in 20 mins where with HCx I have searched 4 times for same cache with no success…any help would be appreciated.
