2003 - I had a Garmin eTrex yellow original. Took me a year to work out that it could store tracks - then what to do with them??
Messing about I played with the data downloading the UTM data with ExpertGPS and putting that into Autocad - building up a map over the next two years.
Then Openstreetmap came along - and here was all this old data that I could upload - check out Ado Ekiti - Kabba, Jos - Zaria, Zaria - Kano, - Kano - Bauchi, Kaduna - Abuja - and lots of Abuja - all with the Garmin Etrex.
The Garmin Legend for me is a huge improvement with programmable logging ( I use 3 second samples ) and WAAS - no complaints. Maybe a HCX next time with an SD card to improve the memory from 10000 track points to unlimited
Regards to all the Bangladesh / Nigeria mappers out there
