I want to buy a simple unit without all the bells and whistles but am not sure where to start. I'm looking at the garmin etrex h and the legend. Any input would be helpfull.

Either one is a good starter--the "H" is more sensitive and won't lose signal as much as the Legend.

Ya really should look at the color units with at least a little bit of memory..............believe me, you'll be looking at maps to load within the first 2 years.

If you want a bigger unit (larger to hold, bigger bottons and larger screen--for those failing eyes, and large fingers) you might want to consider the 72's, 76's or the 60's.

What will you be mainly using it for?

I'd go with one of the 76 series.

72's and 76's also FLOAT.......might come in handy if you will be using them over water.
