DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I bought a Colorado 400t to replace my Legend HCx so that I could do paperless caching and save money on ink for my printer. Aside from paperless caching, the Legend HCx is a better unit. The Legend has a much better user interface, and is much better with indicating direction to a waypoint. And with the way Colorado goes through batteries, I'm spending any money it saved on printer ink. All in all, not worth the money.

Pros: paperless geocaching
Cons: poor user interface, eats batteries too fast.
Recommend: NO

Purchased the 400t. The wheel fell off during my first day rendering it useless. Earlier in the day the unit froze up and I could not backtrack. Gramin replaced the unit but now the topo maps do not work and the unit still freezes up. This unit is a piece of crap.

I received one of these units about two weeks ago and have had a chance to check it out. The unit has Mapsource topographical maps pre-installed. That product is not, and never has been a road navigation system. I also purchased the Mapsource North America roads on SD card, and that works perfectly in the unit for navigating with a car. I haven't had any problems with this GPS at all. It is super-sensitive and receives a signal in very obstructed terrain. The thumbwheel selector takes a bit of getting used to, but it works great and greatly reduces the number of buttons required. The unit seems more rugged than a 60, and the case design will probably prove to be very waterproof.

My only negative would be that it seems to be fairly power hungry and won't go as long as a 60 series on a set of batteries.

Recommend: YES

DON'T GIVE UP YOUR GARMIN 60CSX!!! I ran out and bought one of these new Colorado 400t's and now I am so sorry. I had to replace it 3 days after I received it because the wheel on the front stopped working and I had to use both hands to turn the dial. The details at street level don't exist. If you want to see the street names on the map, you have to move the cursor over that street. So it is worthless for driving in town. If the batteries go dead, you all of your trip history is gone. I have spoken to Garmin several times about software updates, but none so far. So if your thinking about trading your 60CSX in for the 400 series, DON'T DO IT.

Recommend: YES
