Reviews
Pros: SD expansion card, onboard joystick, rechargeable battery. Superior Mapping Capabilities. When connected to the Puter, it is recognized as another hard drive.
Cons: Slow to acquire, seems to easily drop signal - but that could be because of the antenna design. Doesn't create a new track after powered down. No software included. Have to switch between internal memory and SD card manually.
Recommendation: I got this unit on a whim. It was on sale at Sears for $80 on closeout after Xmas. I couldn't resist, mainly because of the superior mapping capabilities.

Pros: Rechargeable battery, quick access buttons, expandable media, great detail (when used with MapSend software)
Cons: Wonky computer connection, average GPS signal reception, bulky form factor
Recommendation: This is a great all around GPS for driving, biking, and backcountry exploration. I recommend purchasing it as part of the "Wilderness Bundle" which includes MapSend software for creating detailed topo maps.

Cons: Did not seem very accurate (didn't pick up the satellites well). Wasn't compatible with my computer so I had to take the SD card out every time I wanted to download data, and since it is hidden deep down in the unit behind the batter, it's a pain.
Recommendation: I'd recommend getting something newer.
