You can get older software on ebay for pretty cheap. The best thing I like about my legend though is its size, very small.

For the model, I prefer Etrex Legend, Vista or Map60 because the maps help me figure out where I am supposed to park to get out and look for the cache. But if you only search for one cache at a time, you can print out a map and take it with you, and then just go out with the cheapest yellow Extrex. .
