Garmin eTrex Legend HCx
Garmin eTrex Legend HCx is a top quality handheld navigational system engineered for different kinds of terrain travel. Whether you are hiking or driving, it will provide you precise directions in all sorts of locations.
An upgrade from the Legend Cx model, this handheld GPS comes with a high-sensitivity receiver that allows better navigation. This product is also WAAS-enabled, which makes sure that you are given an accurate location reading and maintains its position even in tough environments or in deep canyons.
Garmin Ltd. started the eTrex series in 1998. It aimed to provide sophisticated yet handy GPS receivers for people who are hiking or strolling around remote areas. The product line gained substantial popularity, which paved way for innovations to occur in their handheld navigation systems. In 2007, the “H” series, which boasted a high-sensitivity receiver, was first introduced. This series included the Legend HCx among its models.
Aside from getting a clear reception, the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx features a built-in base map, and the capability to do automatic routing. The base map includes state highways, coastlines, lakes, rivers, cities, and other details that are helpful when you are outdoors. The product also has a microSD slot that you can use anytime you want to add new maps for your navigator. This is so easy to do. You can insert any card with MapSource data in it, which provides directions to your choice of trip destination. Your Legend Hcx will then do its job in giving you the right route, to bring you there on time. In downloading new maps from the computer, its fast USB connection provides a more efficient way of transferring data and waypoints.
This product is also a winner in its physical design. It looks impressive and hip. It is small and light in weight, which comes handy in any outdoor plans that you make. You can just simply take it with you anywhere. It features a 1.7in x 1.3in clear screen with a brilliant 256-color display, which provides you a clear picture of your map. The screen display is also sunlight-readable, which makes it convenient for you to read locations any time of the day. This product has a 25-hour battery life when being used.
The Legend HCx is waterproof in design. It guarantees protection from water, in case you accidentally drop it or if it gets wet by rainfall. Even its microSD card slot is located in a waterproof compartment, which ensures safety for your data files. In any case that your model gets damaged, you are guaranteed one year warranty, starting from the date of purchase.
The Garmin eTrex Legend HCx provides a perfect navigational system for outdoor travels. Wherever you may be, this handy technology guarantees that it will bring you to your destination safe and sound.
But just don’t take my word for it. Here are some people who have bought and used this product.
