 Good product December 11, 2007

This GPS works very well. So far, my only slight problem I would mention is that the backlight defaults to dark at each startup.

This is excellent product. Sensitivity is equal with SIRF III type GPS. Also those antenna gives a good resolution and accuracy even in confined areas. Small size easily to put inside pocket without fuss.
Fantastic, Very satisfied November 30, 2007

I will keep this as short as possible. The only drawback is the small screen, but that's what you sacrifice for extreme portability and honestly, it doesn't bother me that much.
I'm in Iraq and most civilian GPS systems and even some of our own can't get a signal inside our armored trucks w/o an external antenna, but this one can even without the high-sensitivity feature turned on. I've taken it out on four patrols for a total running time of about 36hrs and the batteries only read half-drained. Granted they're lithium batteries and I use the backlight VERY sparingly, but still, very impressed.
It's everything I would want in a GPS, I had the RINO and while that was nice, this is so much better since I RARELY used the radio feature. It's worth the money, shop around, I found mine for just over $200 new.
If you don't already know, the loaded maps are sparse, so don't expect a lot of detail w/o shelling out some cash for new maps, but that's the case with any GPS.
Bottom line, great product, Garmin impresses me again. If it's good enough for me in Iraq, I don't see where this bad-boy would fail.

plenty of useful features and easy to use; great battery life. the biggest problem i have is that that it will show me as walking between two streets (as if i'm walking through houses.) this might be a problem with a menu setting or the topo map loaded. otherwise, i'm very happy.
