Electronic Compass

- Built in LEVEL sensor aids compass reading accuracy.

- Compass operates in Track UP mode only.

- Automatic Declination adjustment with manual override.

 

 

Standard eTrex and eTrex Summit GPS Features: Summit has all standard eTrex features.

 

- Automatic map rotation (toward your heading, aka Track UP) or North UP. (Compass disabled in North UP mode.)

- Create new waypoint by projecting from an existing waypoint

- 500 Waypoints (with Icons/graphic symbol, and name)

- 100+ map datums

- Position format has Lon/Lat, UTM/UPS, Maidenhead, MGRS, and other grids, one USER grid, and one USER Datum.

- Receiver is 12 channel parallel. Antenna is slightly smaller than on other units which gives good (but not exceptional) sensitivity

- No external amplified antenna connection port is available.

i'm quite keen to get myself a legend cx,

first hand or 2nd hand...

did some research, and just emailed ST Electronics (Info-Comm Systems)

now pending reply after the holidays.

 

anyway, i came upon this site, a must know for all gps users:-

 

In the super friendly site, malsingmaps.com, it offered the map of sing and w msia.

 

in bold states that its compatible with latest GPS device. But well, the legend isn't exactly the latest tech, so are they compatible ?

 

Description is as follows:-

 

All Official Maps in Gmapsupp

Description:

All-in-one gmapsupp.img containing:

* All official routable maps (from v3.23 Malsing Installer)

* All road POI maps (Malaysia & Singapore from 30 Dec 06)

Guys and gals,

 

I got a Garmin Legend CX for Christmas in England - lucky me!!

 

I tried to find the WorldMap software and the Singapre/JB City Select Software for when I return to Singapore in a few days time.

 

ST told me that that can get the software it but it will take 6 weeks. Crap!

 

This company has it waiting in the shop, you might wanna try them for hardware too:

yo bro, y buy a GPS unit, somemore the 60CSX series is so expensive. last time got so many people laugh at me & say it is a total waste of $$ & useless to invest in a GPS. Just get a paper map is good enough.

 

By the way, better not let that group noe u got this model, so expensive, if not they will also laugh at u

[eldottore46]
