4 Stars Attn: eTrex Legend Hcx owners
The bike mount works great. For the Garmin eTrex Legend Hcx, I installed the clip that came with the gps unit on to the original back cover. The clip then attaches to the bike mount. The bike cover for the gps that comes with the bike mount does not fit the eTrex Legend Hcx. But you do not need it. Just use the clip that comes with the gps unit.
4 Stars This DOES work with the eTrex Vista
I, like many reviewers, was disappointed when I saw that the back cover provided with the mount does not fit on the eTrex Vista. Then I saw a helpful comment to one of the people complaining about this not working with the Vista. You need to screw on the mounting attachment that came with eTrex Vista. This then fits snugly on the provided mount. You don’t need the provided back at all. In many ways this is better than using the back that came with the bike mount. The original back is waterproof and much sturdier than the plastic back that came with the mount. I attached it to my bike and it performed well. The only reason for four stars is I don’t like paying for a back that I don’t need.
I thought that this bit of knowledge was important enough to put it in its own review and not be buried in a comment. My thanks to the person who commented about how this mount works with the Vista.
1 Star Doesn’t work with the ETrex
This item doesn’t work with the with the etrex version that his the micro card on the left hand side. I had to go to a ram mount Don’t waste your money
4 Stars Works for both old and HC lines.
I have the original eTrex Summit – works great! Only cons are the pain of removing the screw to switch handlebars, and the reduction in comfort from the new battery panel. One thing to keep in mind when mounting (if you have an electric compass) is it needs to be level otherwise it won’t give proper readings.
Also have experience with using this with the eTrex HC line – just don’t use the replacement battery panel! The screw piece you need to attach to the unit is included with the box, which you hopefully saved.
4 Stars There is a better part
If you are buying this mount for a eTrex Vista HCx then don’t! The actual handlebar mount is fine but you are also paying for a new rear cover for an older model GPS that will not fit. There is a Garmin part #010-10496-01 that is just the clamp that is needed without the useless back cover and it is obviously cheaper.
