Garmin Legend! Yeah!
I use GPS primarily for Geocaching and general nav when I am on the road. You're a cacher, eh? Cool! i haven't been out in a while. Bad weather and new job keeping me far too busy. Damn.
I have the Legend and I really like it. A friend of mine has a Megellan, and I think the Garmin screen is much easier to read. Yes, the Magellan screens are a bit wider, but the Garmin screens are really clear.
Navigation: they are both really different. We were out caching one day and some waypoints were more easily found with his, while some were more easily found with my Garmin. Even out in the open the two were quite different; it was pretty surprising.
Now, there are two different types. One type is road based, and is quite common in newer cars. This is different than the handheld versions that are not really road based, but more...uhm...navigation based (I dont remember the actual term right now...haha) So if you really want one for the car, ti will be quite different than one for caching or non-road. Now, with that in mind, the Garmin Legend does display roads in the area, so you can't get too lost. I just took a trip north of Seattle in the car, and was happy to look over at my Legend to see how far I was from the next exit or the next city. I hope the differences are kind of clear from this description (prolly not...haha).
