Garmin eTrex Legend Hand Held
GPS
With the eTrex Legend, Garmin has loaded a full basemap of North
and South America into one small unit. The Legend is also designed to provide
precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area
Augmentation System (WAAS). This product will provide position accuracy to less
than three meters when receiving WAAS corrections.
The basemap contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates,
national and state highways, railroads and coastlines. The eTrex Legend is also
equipped with additional memory totaling eight megabytes. The added memory
allows the eTrex Legend to accept downloaded map data from Garmin's entire line
of MapSource® CD-ROMs, including Fishing Hot Spots®. The eTrex Legend comes in a
brightly-colored translucent blue case that really makes the unit stand out. New
to the product design, Garmin will include marine aids to navigation in addition
to the basemap. These navigational aids will be pre-loaded into each unit from
the factory.
