I've been using a Garmin Etrex Legend for 5 years now in Auto, Sailplane and foot. I cracked the screen (LCD) and it still worked. I sent it in for repair at $99. They uploaded my waypoints, airports and POI's to a NEW unit. It's a mule! It still commands a price that I paid for it 5 years ago at Target. Used ones are on flea bay. What's cool is that I upload my tracks to my Mac or PC and put them in free programs that use USGS maps, Terraserver,(etc) and view my journey. Flight Track works for Mac and will display tracks in 3D.
