Customer Reviews

Great little GPS
I thought at first glance this was a limited unit...I didn't see any classic Latitude/Longitude display on every GARMIN unit I've tinkered with before, nor was I able to find the altimeter feature other than as I marked a waypoint. I was pleased to find out after reading a bit of the manual that it does have all the very best features a GPS can offer. I climb mountains over 14,000 feet in Colorado so it is nice to know when the 14,000 point is hit. It is not a limited unit by any means I was able to change and personalize all the display fields to what I wanted. I find the unit very convenient, easy to carry with me, easy to read and easy to use once you spend some time reading through the manual. I find it accurate and every walk has been consistently accurate. I cannot yet speak on battery life or how well it works in a canopy of trees but rarely do any GPS units work perfectly in these dense areas. I can use it in some homes and haven't had the problem of locating satellites I expected from a unit with an internal antenna. I have full use in less than a minute outside. I rarely read manuals but admit that if I hadn't read and watched the DVD, who knows how long before I had been able to use the unit to its full potential.

Poor signal
I gave this one star because choosing zero was not an option.
This unit is extremely slow to begin with, but when you are in the mountains, or any type of tree cover (and possibly clouds)... forget it. You would be better off with Ray Charles leading the way.
I thought about purchasing data cables to upgrade the software, but the cable is almost as expensive as the unit.
