Pros: Good performance, feature loaded, durable in most regards, easy to read, electronic compass.
Cons: No way to disable barometric altimeter, kinda ugly, expensive maps
Bottom Line:
I'd strongly suggest looking at the competition as well, but that doesn't make this a less excellent product! It is definitely an extremely flexible little device~

A good moderate priced small GPS unit with the necessities.
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Small, light weight, good (but not excellent) reception, great battery life, reasonable price.
Cons: Low quality base map, wish the screen were slightly larger, not good for driving.
Bottom Line:
A good economical choice for outdoor types with all the features you need, but also compare the HCx version for better reception. Not recommended for driving.
