Check out Walmart.com I found them to have the lowest price for the Mapsource for garmin. I then printed out their price and took it to basspro and they did a price match for me. Saved me shipping costs, plus I was able to use a basspro gift card someone gave me. I think I got them for about $72.00. Basspro's original price was $99.99.

I'm in the market for a hand held gps unit - Looking at the Garmin ETrex Legend. Don't need anything all that fancy - Use it to pinpont stand locations and no worries to be able to make sure I find my way back to truck after walking for miles while looking for turkeys along with downloading decent topo maps.Any suggestions for a good, cheap one. I can get the ETrex Legend for $117 at Walmart or about the same price on ebay. Thanks!

What's really the difference between the CX and ETrex except color background and compass working while standing still instead of moving? Just trying to determine if it's worth the extra $$?

I've had both. The Cx has a removable memory card and color screen. It is worth it to me. A buddy of mine recently got a etrex. When I showed him what the Legend Cx would do he about threw his Etrex out.

The removable memory card lets you store your topo maps on the card. That is why I went with the CX. I can't speak for the Etrex, but the color screen on the Cx really makes it easy to see in daylight.
