How did, or why did you start wheeling?
I run Ray-O-Vac in all my gadgets. I read in Consumer Reports that they last longer than any other battery, and are about half the price of Energizers or Durakills. I'll never use Durakills again, they've ruined more electronic gadgets and flashlights than I can remember. I get about 20 hours of life from a set of Ray-O-Vacs in my Legend.

Hey , you guys with Legends look really close at the multi funtion joystick type button above the display.
I noticed on my brand new unit what looked like a very small hair scratch or shallow crack on the left side of the button going to the side of the case.
It bugged me so I took it back to Circuit City and got the other one they had and before I left the store, I checked it and guess what, it looks the same
Me and the manager agreed that it could be just a manufaturing deal and it really is not a crack.
If you guys notice the same thing let me know.
You almost have to have it outside in natural light to see it.
Weird.

Yeah, mine has that too, and so did my cousin's. Very weird. We thought that maybe it was a flaw in the mold when they made the cases, but I'd think by now they would have changed the molds....maybe not. It's never progressed into a crack or anything else, so I don't even worry about it.

WHITE SMOKE AND COOLANT LOSS
I use NIMH rechargeables in mine. I get 8 hours on a charge - and it is much cheaper than running alkalines. I keep a set of alkalines on hand a s a back up just in case the rechargeables go dead, but i usually have a 2nd set of rechargeables on hand also.

RE: WHITE SMOKE AND COOLANT LOSS
I have had the same results. Often getting accuracy down to 3 ft with WAAS turned on. I did notice it really slows the unit down though, so I normally do not use it unless I feel I need the pinpoint accuracy. Most of the time it is just telling me where the nearest gas station, burger joint, or GPS (good pooping station) is.

RE: YJ STUFF
I use a Garmin etrex Venture with a dashboard attachment in the Jeep. I use 1 hour rechargeable NIMH AA batteries that last all day (most longer than 15 hours).
I use it as a speedometer and to map my trails by year in Delorme Topo USA 5.0 mapping software...
Great stuff!
