Garmin Cycling GPS Units ComparedA
comparison of Garmin's cycling-specific GPS units. Be aware that
although the newest units come with basemaps, you need to purchase
additional software (about $90) to get the detail you'll want, making
them very pricey!
Garmin eTrex Legend HCx and Garmin eTrex Summit HCxThe Legend and Summit are excellent alternatives to expensive cycling-specific
GPS units. Although the list prices is $250 and $300, you can get them
deeply discounted if you watch for them. WalMart online often has great prices (Click here for Walmart price)
Note: Don't confuse HCx model with older HC model. These units also
need additional software to get the highest level of detail.
