I am new to the GPS user world and had high hopes for this unit. Its primary use was going to be simple for hunting & hiking help. I have read several negative reports that describe fairly accurately the same troubles I have. To be brief, my complaints are: Accuracy - horizontally off by 100 to 500 ft, vertically (altimeter) off by up to thousands of feet; Satellite lock - unreliable no matter what is or is not overhead, even on clear days; Tracking - unit seems to freeze after first waypoint direction is established, but walking in that direction the unit does not always update and is unreliable.
I have other Cobra products that are great, however the most disappointing thing about thie unit is that the advertisement of features is at best inaccurate and at worst misleading. It seems that the unit is working like the rest, but certainly without the improved capabilities expounded by Cobra.
Update: Cobra replaced the unit with a new one with no questions asked. Still problematic but due to Cobra Customer Service being proactive, I raised the rating.
