The legend is more designed for hiking than for use in the car. It can be used, but the screen is pretty dang small.
If you are looking for a GPS that is handheld and will be used for hiking, then I highly recommend the 60csx. It has the new SiRF III chip for greater accuracy and for linking to satellites a lot faster, it can last up to 16 hours on a set of rechargeable AAAs, great color screen, waterproof, sandproof, and can use up to a 1 gig memory chip.
I was highly impressed with mine in Utah this year, especially compared to the POS magellan I had that was three years old and literally fell apart in my hands before my trip (giving me time to purchase the Garmin).
Here is a great site for info on different GPS units:
