Pros: Lightweight, color display, incredible battery power

Cons: Comes with a basemap, no details

I bought this GPS receiver to help me navigate offshore when I take my dog island hopping on my jetski. I tend to get lost especially off Dauphin Island and the other little islands off the coast of Alabama. This unit is water proof and ready for adv...enture. After learning all its functions, I started using it for trails and geocaching. It has a specific geocache function that is foolproof. The display is easy to read even in direct sunlight. It has great reception, even under cover. The only thing it doesn't come with is detailed maps or topo built in, but that is easily downloaded from any of Garmin's MapSource CDs. You can download auto nav routes and it will give you audible turn-by-turn directions. The batteries last up to 24 hours. It's got 24 MB of storage for your routes. There is nothing about this unit not to like, and it is appropriate for both beginners and experienced GPS navigators. Read more Less
