Tim,



I gotta tell you there is a world of difference between the legend and the base model Garmin Etrex. Not only does the display have over twice the resolution, it adds three level gray tones as well. I've used the standard Etrex after having used my Legend for a year and my reaction was pretty much ... "bleeechhh"... You will not regret getting a Legend and the Roads and Recreation CD (which consequently has the waterway detail included). It also has a VMG feature (velocity made good) that is priceless in a long distance race - the base unit does not have this data display either.
