I used legends in the worrell this year and the were GREAT except for a few "small" things.



1. NOT water proof

2. MUST live in a waterproof bag.... the gold contacts on the back when put in contact w/salt water will electrolosize (sp?) themselves away. Gold+electricity+salt water=reverse gold plating.

3. Joystick hard to work at 25+mph in Atlantic ocean

4. Joystick even harder to work at 25+ mph in the dark in Atlantic ocean... he he he



All in all I LOVED, them, but... I think we ended up killing two of the four with saltwater intrusion, but all got returned in the end. If they really were waterproof (they NEVER got more than 1-2 ft underwater for less than a min at a time) and didn't have that pesky reverse plating issue... they would be WELL worth it. I see some/most people keep them in a dry bag, BUT...doesn't that defeat part of the purpose of them being so small?



If you spend the extra money for the waterways software, you won't regret it. It is a GREAT aid in navigation. Once you load the maps in the GPS and zoom in on your location, it will show you all the lights, markers, etc in the area. Way cool!



Gotta run,
