that don't sound good at all....I have one also...I am going to start me a spreadsheet and write all of my waypoints down. Good luck

Do you have the latest update? It's a 08 update. Maybe your problem, maybe not. Had a problem with my 72 and the update fixed it.

Garmin: eTrex Legend Software Update Collection

So you have fresh batteries (not meaning to insult your intelligence) ? But stuff happens sometimes. I'll bet your waypoints are safe, but if I were you, I'd speak to a 'real person' at Garmin and get them to walk you through the fix. Could just be a software glitch. Best o' luck.

Might also check the battery contacts for corrosion but I don't think that is the problem.

Well i dont know if this is the right thing to do or not but i disabled WAAS and it started working just fine so I then went to garmin and downloaded the lastest version hope this takes care of my problem
