yep that is what I have my eTrex Legend for - it upsets me somewhat though that the Oregon was announced just a few days after I bought mine and that once again just recently when I had to buy a smartphone the Garmin-Asus nüvifone A50 had just become unavailable from my cellular provider. free Garmin nav with lifetime nümaps for a device costing 35% less than the Defy would have been just too nice even with a 320x480 display as opposed to the Defy's ruggedized 854x480.
then again I've thus far been too lazy to log with the eTrex and too conservative about (and wary of) exposing my where&whenabouts on the iNet so I've yet to find use for it for myself - I practically never have time to reshoot, I don't offer anything location based that will earn me a single cent, and quite frankly these days I don't take many pictures, my DAD (Duplo A Day) tilt/shift architecture project is still on ground, my photography is overwhelmingly listless and underwhelmingly uninspired. but hey maybe taking a bookworthy pic for the annual could be a source of appetite I'll try my bloody hardest.
