Re: GPS Extrex legend at Bi Mart $99.00 ? Posted by: "Spike55" spike55_bmw@... spike55_bmw Mon Feb 9, 2009 6:57 pm (PST) All depends (as usual) on if you are looking forward or back. I have the cheap-o blue eTrex Legend and it is great for recording everywhere I travelled (roads, speed, direction, altitude, time, etc). That is what I call 'looking back'. Looking forward is hard to do safely. The screen is a black & white LCD and only 1" x 2". Using it on the fly is OK as long as you keep it at a macro level. You really have to zoom in to finally have small dirt roads pop up into view but then you're kind of in too far to see much ahead. Also I only have 8 MB of memory and that only gets you out of the state but that's it. A bigger screen, touch-sensitive multi-color with a schrol function, wired into the bike's electric through a detactable harness, and a battery back-up would be nicer to use while you're going 50+ mph. All of that comes with a price though. Don R00, A6F --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogro ups.com, Jim Mastrantonio wrote: > > Is it a good deal.

Re: GPS Extrex legend at Bi Mart $99.00 ? Posted by: "Greg May" gmay131313@... gmay131313 Tue Feb 10, 2009 3:20 am (PST) I agree with Don, I have an E-Trex as well, great for hiking, hunting and mounting to your bike and getting you back to where you have already been. it does have a lot of neat functions, top speed, average speed, etc. I also have a TomTom for my 4 wheeled modes of transport which takes you anywhere you want to go and talks to you and corrects you if you take a wrong turn. Although i don't have it the Maps software for the E-Trex I believe costs around $80 if I remember right plus the $130 or so I paid for the E-trex and another $30 for the handlebar mounting bracket add up to more then I paid for the TomTom on sale, $150 for a text to speach version, of course I'm sure that the TomTom would never have survived what the E-Trex has. For what I use the E-Trex for it was very useful and if it dies I will no doubt buy another like it but as Don stated it serves a different purpose then something like a TomTom... have a great day......Greg --- On Mon, 2/9/09, Spike55 wrote: From: Spike55 Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: GPS Extrex legend at Bi Mart $99.00 ?
