Rating: Summary: Great GPS for the money Review: I am fairly new to the GPS scene. I have an old magellan that
has a tough time getting position fix - even on a treeless hilltop. Not with this unit -
Very fast position fix. Works in the house. Got 7 tracking
right now.
I like the track log. It tracks the path you are
traveling. Simple to backtrack.
Controls are very simple and fast. Menues are nice and clear.
Great looking LCD.
For $100 bucks I can't imagine a better GPS.
Rating: Summary: Maybe all you'll ever need Review: I have been looking for an inexpensive unit to use for a couple of years while I wait for this market to really mature. This is the answer. My use is for trails and backpacking. I have been using my unit for several days, and it is amazing for a $100 price level. I especially like the rugged exterior, which is easy to grip. Also the satellite lock is fast and impressive. The screen has an excellent backlight for dark nights and in the house, but otherwise the readibility is just fine. Much better than an eTrex. Just remember, it doesn't allow you to install maps, if that is the case, you need a more expensive unit. But if you just want to track distance, and fix points once you get there, this is worth every penny.
Rating: Summary: Great Value Review: I've had an Etrex. And I must say this product is 10 times better.
1)Satellite acquisition is good.
2) Really easy to use.
3) Fits great in the hand.
and last but very important. BIG LCD.
Great Buy.
Rating: Summary: Poor form: a built-in EULA upon bootup Review: Warning: the first thing this unit does upon boot is force the user to read and agree to a EULA (End User License Agreement) before being able to use the unit. Some people may not care, but I do.
