I have a 10 now (previously had a 20 but stupidly lost it when out walking) and have had a bunch of Legend HCX's over the years when they were good. The accuracy is great on the newer 10/20/30 series (Glonass, etc.) but the small screens on them are rubbish when compared to modern phone screens and entering waypoints or panning the map using the rubber nubbin is terrible. I never really think the more expensive Garmins are worth the money. They seem to add £50 to the price with each generation. I don't suppose they sell that many now everyone has a smartphone with a GPS. The Etrexes are great on a bike but for walking I want something with a bigger modern touchscreen (7 inch would be perfect for me). I fancy one of these or something similar but can't afford it right now: http://www.durrocomm.com/product/durropad-x8/ Kevin -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
