| Pros | Built in highway maps, waypoint marking button | | Cons | No computer connectivity, no elevation profile plot, certain features are tough to figure out (like trip odometer), poor documentation provided with package, bike mount is expensive and bulky | | Verdict | This is a good entry level GPS unit but NOT FOR MOUNTAIN BIKERS. The fatal blows for this device are the lack of computer connectivity and an elevation profile. Probably good for geocaching or driving but almost worthless for biking. | | Recommended for: x - Not recommended |
