Amazon.com Product Description

With the Legend Cx, Garmin has updated a much-loved device with expandable memory on a microSD card so you can load optional map data for your hiking, hunting, and other outdoor excursions. Add to that a bright, full-color TFT display, automatic routing, and long, 36-hour battery life, and you've got a great companion for your next outdoor or boating adventure.

The Legend Cx features a bright color screen, 36 hour battery life, microSD card maps, and more.
You can use the Legend Cx's memory card slot with preprogrammed microSD cards from Garmin (sold separately) that provide topographic maps, city streets, and nautical charts. In fact, the unit is compatible with most Garmin MapSource products, including BlueChart, City Navigator, U.S. Topo 24K, and U.S. Topo and Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots. The unit comes preloaded with an Americas autoroute basemap that provides automatic routing capabilities, including highways, exits, and tide data. You can even get turn-by-turn directions when you're driving, and an integrated trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more.

As on all eTrex units, the primary controls are located on the side of the unit, so you can operate it with one hand. An innovative rocker switch on its face makes inputting data easy, and with it you can scroll through menus or pan the map page. Fast USB connectivity makes loading charts and maps quick and easy, while navigation instructions can be shared with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots using NMEA protocols through the dedicated serial port. Additionally, the case is water resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes).

Another key feature of the Legend Cx is the 10,000-point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions. There's also a large-numbers option for easy viewing, as well as a dual-position display mode. Lastly, the unit includes built-in celestial tables for best times to fish and hunt, plus sun and moon calculations.

If you like the features of the Legend Cx but require an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, check out the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx.

What's in the Box
Legend Cx unit, 32 MB microSD card, USB interface cable, MapSource Trip and Waypoint Manager CD, lanyard, owner's manual, and quick-start guide.

GARMIN eTrex LEGEND CX.......2008-01-01

Garmin eTrex Legend CX Color Mapping Handheld GPS
WOW Are we enjoying this product. I already own two Garmin GPS products and this is truly a LEGEND. It is very easy to use and the screen is just right. It pin points our position everytime so it is right up todate no matter where we are. We went to a remote area of Georgia hunting and we were able navigate easily. I truly recommend this product.

Really like it........2007-12-16

This is my first GPS device. I like it and use it everytime I go anywhere new. I like the ergonomics and ease of use, nothing really complicated, you can basically fire it up and start using it without even reading the directions. Keep in mind you will want more memory and Map software to go with it.

Customer Service.......2007-10-04

Merchandise recieved in timely manor, Defective unit. Got return authorization from Myron Global. Returned merchandise - have never heard from them again. Made several attempts to contact directly and thru Ama Zon with no results. $200 loss on my part.

Excellent GPS.......2007-08-24

I was very surprised by the quality of this GPS. I bought it for a recent trip to England (had to send it to a friend in the USA and then here by UPS) and used the MetroGuide Europe 8 maps that I found online with a little trick that means them GPS routable. It worked great and got me to all the places (on foot) that I wanted to see. I did however have some qualms about it:

1. The autorouting doesn't distinguish good areas from bad, which can be a problem in London as you're happily following the directions in the late afternoon and suddenly find yourself in an council housing estate area full of hoodies staring at you. Nothing happened, but I felt very uncomfortable.

2. Whenever I told either MapSource or the GPS to find me a pedestrian route between (even nearby) cities it seemed to give up and told me to go on a motorway. Not being completely crazy, I took the bus instead and never noticed any pedestrian ways near motorways outside of cities. This remains a mystery. More so since it gives you the route like it were good instead of saying "sorry, can't do that."

Otherwise though, this is a really good GPS that performs better than I had expected.

I guess the picture of the unit with streets in the the image
made me suppose that is what you get. Apparently you do not. All you get is the main roads so once you zoom into your neighborhood you get a blank screen. To buy the street maps from Garmin cost $140 just for N. America. Looks like I should have just stuck with my laptop and Google maps. The Garmin web site is poor. I tried updating my software. Although I hit the update software it baulked because there were already files of the same name. Even after clicking "ok" the update box to extract the files never disappeared or changed to say it had correctly updated. I was left wondering if it had.

Product Description

Premier Mounts, the undisputed leader in mounting solutions for LCD/plasma displays, proudly presents the Universal Series of flat-panel mounts. Model # MS1 fits most LCD/plasma displays from 24"-36" and MS2 fits most displays from 37" to 61". Model MS1 is available in a single-piece wall plate (CTM), while MS2 comes in either a single- (CTM) or -dual (PCM) wall plate design. The uniqueness of the Universal Series design is based on Premier Mounts new Griplate System, which uses an innovative hole plate. The Griplate System accurately supports the appropriate mounting hardware and its 'teeth' set within detents along the mounting bracket for a solid fit while securing the display. This eliminates the need for excessive torque on the mounting hardware that most 'universal' products require. Included set screws at the base of the mounting brackets and safety knobs at the top offer added security after installation and also serve to lock the display in place once lateral placement has been determined. The Universal Series comes in an attractive dark gray finish.
