 Hard to use August 23, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this specifically for geocaching. The instructions are insufficient to figure out how to punch in coordinates that you already know. Maybe I need a 13 year old to figure this out, because the 12 year old I know couldn't, and neither could I!
 Good product for the price May 24, 2007

This is my first GPS device, we started looking at different devices to track or mountainbiking rides.
At the begginig I tought buying a more specialized product, but this one is great for the price.
Getting the sattelites is not that fast but I'm not bothered on waiting 3 minutes, sometimes it loose reception if the woods are to dense but as soon as I can see the sky, reception comes back.
Anyway for my first GPS its a great buy!!
Im going out walking and riding my bike even more now that I can actually see wher I've been in Google earth.

Nice unit but it's for field use only. No road maps. Works good for GeoCash, or hunting and fishing.
Good BASIC GPS January 21, 2007

This is a good, but higher level basic GPS. Picks up satelites reasonably well, except in heavier tree cover. Clear and readable display. The unit performs as advertised. What I don't like about it is the 1MB memory limitation. I'm interested in downloading National Park topo maps and the 1MB memory limits me to one quadrant in the typical western US MapSource Western National Parks. If your one day trail spans more than one map grid or if you plan a multiday hike you are out of luck. I'm not a geocacher, so I was looking for the basics -- altitude, direction, track some of my way points. The maps was a nice to have. But once I started playing with them, I liked them and wanted to use them more. That's when I ran into the head room issue. So I upgraded to the GPSMap 60CSx -- more money than I intended to spend, but....
4 Stars because of the memory limitations. If that is not an issue for you, then 4.5 stars.
Good upgrade over the eTrex April 17, 2006

We had an eTrex, which my clumsiness sent to the bottom of a creek, never to be seen again. I like this unit a lot more than the eTrex:
- the screen is much sharper and easier to read
- the device's softwre is more sophisticated; you can store much more information about each waypoint
- the USB connection is really handy. Downloading waypoint information from the computer beats entering it by hand on the eTrex!
- this unit is easier to use
Don't expect much from its built-in basemap; it has dots for cities, and that's it (meaning it's basically useless, unless you have just arrived from another planet).
The biggest disadvantage to this unit is that Garmin has a proprietary interface, so it won't speak to mapping software which is expecting a standard NMEA serial-port interface. Fransom GpsGate handles the translation, though, and it's not particularly expensive.
Note: I am not affiliated with Fransom in any way.
