| Just over two years old. Never abused,wet,or dropped. Just
turned it on one day to go for a walk, waited for it to
aquire satellites..and waited...and waited. Never happened.
I went to Garmins' support page, updated everything
possible, and it fixed nothing.I called customer support,
they were polite and informative, and explained to me that
the chipset was fried, and there was no fix. He suggested I
ship it back to them, and because it was out of warranty,
they would send me a refurbished unit for $160.00. Too
bad, 'cause I really liked this unit. | |

| Excellent choice for reconnaissance, point averaging
comparable to far more expensive units, excellent reception. | |

| The basic machine is sort of OK once you get used to it,
(and you'll be doing a lot of guessing to get this far),
though I actually liked my eTrex better in this regard. It
was much more intuitive.
However the BaseCamp software is hopeless. The meagre
instructions for how to use the SW are misleading, ambiguous
or outright wrong all too often. Typically the software
designers have fallen into the same trap that so many SW
people do:
1) Assuming the user has almost the same level of knowledge
as the pros. i.e. "Beginners? Let 'em struggle".
2) No tutorials for Basecamp beginners.
3) Furthermore there are aspects that simply don't work as
stated at all. Waypoints transferred to my machine were
unfindable even though the SW said they had transferred
successfully from the PC.
Don't waste your time, and if you do take the chance, make
sure you can return it if you don't like it. I shall be
returning mine and buying from a company other than Garmin.
This is a company that has gone feature-crazy and forgotten
that every customer was once a beginner. | |

| Very good GPS. More than I expected. Screen is very clear
and has great backlighting. Easy to use and read.Signal
strenth is fantistic. Never lost a signal even in heavily
treed areas. | |
