I have the etrex vista (similar to the legend) and have topo maps loaded into it. It shows all the roads with names, lakes and ponds, riversand all the info on the topo maps. It is awsome. I still hunt and navigate the old fashon way and use the etrex as a form of insurance. I carry spare batterys and feel that the unit allows me to stay in the woods longer because I always know exactly where I am. Kill an animal and you can set the waypoint, leave it and get help to drag it out. I have owned 2 units the first was Lawrance and now garmin. I think the garmin is the best.
