EASY TO USE OUTDOOR GPS
Pros: many great features
Cons: needs better basemap for the cost
I would like to say that I am very impressed from this device. It should have a 5 star rating. One of the best features of the dakota is the ability to addd maps. I would capitalize on this feature when you purchase the device. A standard base map is not the best for outdoor navigation but you can chose from many free garmin topo maps that can be very helpful to your dakota.

GPS THAT WORKS GREAT
Pros: everything
Cons: should mabey have a better base map
I have just purchased the dakota 10 and I am very impressed by the touch screen. I also found it very nice to be able to see sun and moon information and hunt and fish details. This is truly a geat outdoor GPS. I would highly recommend this over buying the oregon.It is smaller and fits better in your hand and has some of the same capabilities that the oregon has. Overall 5 stars.

SHORT LIFE SPAN
Pros: accurate, small, easy to use
Cons: unstable, crashes, dead in less than 4 weeks
Great unit... if you only need it for a few weeks. I bought my Dakota 10 from Costco mid April. It's dead already (less than 4 weeks). Would not start yesterday no matter what I did, even followed the recovery procedures on the wiki website. Prior to that it would crash when trying to save the current track log. Took it back to Costco and ordered the Oregon 200. Hopefully that lasts a bit longer :-(

MY NEW GPS
Pros: touch screen
Cons: no electronic compass
I have had about 12 different GARMIN gps's now. starting with the OLD gps II. My main use for my new Dakota is Geocaching. I should have made sure I had the electronic compass, but other than that its good. the touch screen is really nice, and the batteries last a long time. wayne
