Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Etrex Legend hcx - still the best in price range
There are some resources on the net that tell you how to refurbish an etrex when the rubber has come off. Haven't tried it myself but have a unit that will need doing soon. Basically involves a cleaner and some double sided tape. Does the unit power up ok if you push the switch behind the rubber band, if so a refurb should work if Garmin are not forthcoming?

I'm contacting Garmin for repair - they've been good in the past ! But if I need to replace it what would you recommend ? How does the Etrex 30 perform ?

I have an Etrex 20, which I have had for nearly 2 years. A great little device, would certainly recommend it. The Etrex 30 is the same, but with an barometric altimeter, not convinced by the value of this as a walker/mapper.
