I got this used so im not sure how much help this one is. ive used several garmin gps units over the years and just got this for my daughter. powered it up and its working fine. i need to add the maps, which i do have. being a garmin is golden, so im not expecting much to go wrong with this. they are reliable and made for the elements, and it will survive the outdoors better than any cell phone anyway....

The unit came with no base map so its really hard to tell where you are. The date that the unit lock onto from satellite is wrong, and their is no way to change it, which isn't a huge deal. But it is disappointing. So at this point, it is a rather expensive compass. I wish it came with a cable so that you could possibly add a map? I would not recommend this at this moment.

Pro - Perfect price for this unit. It does simple navigation under favorable circumstances. It doesn't promise more. Imagine 2006 technology done well. Cons - Long time acquiring satellites, needs clear view if sky. Not built for wilderness performance.

I mostly use these as cheap bike trip and overall odometers, do not use them for geo caching or anything like that, the cord you get with it requires a serial receptor to upload maps if that is your thing, nice basic hiking unit that will provide you with location, compass ...etc

Very difficult to learn to use. Also difficult to read small font readouts ... even when backlit. Backlight works for only a few seconds. I know it's a battery saving process. But it's very irritating when trying to learn to use the system. Finally gave up. Mine is now consigned to the top shelf of the closet. MIGHT dig it out the next time I take my kayak into open water.
