Pros
Color screen with the ability to load and view aerial and sateliite imagery. Quick access buttons make marking waypoints a cinch.
Cons
No good bike mount for this unit. Small buttons can be difficult to press with gloved hands. Trip start and stop functions are buried in on-screen menus. Serial USB connection is super slow - plan ahead if you're loading satellite imagery before a ride.
Review
This is a good all-around GPS for outdoor enthusiasts and does quite a bit out of the box with the included Topo USA software. Routing on trails works well, tracks are easy to load.
