Easy to operate but limited to good weather Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Nice compact GPS that is accurate in good clear sky but limited in poor weather or under tree cover. I gave it a 4 because of the lack of sensitivity in some situations. The unit is easy to use and has a clear display. The base map is fine if you don't plan to use the street level searching (handy for city Geocaching). I have a Magellan GPS Map and it is much better in poor weather because of the larger internal antenna buy slower to acquire satellites and lock in when searching for a specific coordinate. So, it is handy to have both brands of GPS.
