Default GPS Software

Just got me an etrex legend and I love it. I already know how to use it and Ive only had it for 1 week!!! Its nice and userfriendly. Now Im looking for some software, I need some maps and maybe topo info. Anyone have the world map or maybe the US roads & recreation?

Default GPS Software

I have the E-Trex Vista. I have a handle bar mount on both ATV's and use a suction cup base when in any vehicle. My friend has the Legend. His only complaint is the 8mb RAM. I have 24 mb RAM.
It helps to have more RAM when downloading info from the Mapsource CD for trips.
The best program to buy is the Mapsource program especially for e-trex. The best place to get it and they have the best price is freshtracksmaps.com 8mb RAM is still plenty of space to download to the GPS and it really helps with the detail. You be amazed. I think the program is about $90.00 but is worth it.
That website is also where both of us bought all GPS accessories like suction cup mounts and handlebar mounts.
Don't forget to check out geocaching.com very important!
