This is a robust, well designed unit and is reasonably priced, and very quick to get a location fix. However it is an entry level unit and as such would really benefit from better information to get people started (given that they are likely to be new to this). Also if you want maps on your hand held GPS look elswhere. The world base map which it advertises as included (for the uninitiated)is effectively the co-ordinates of large (ish) towns and cities (virtually no graphics). What this GPS offers is the ability to find geocaches on a well known website, download them onto the unit, and then go and get the cache and it does that very well indeed. I would have given it 5 stars if the info and initial guidance / manual had been more helpful. Now i am used to it (2 weeks) i love it, but i have had to work at it. Also the up side of no maps is no large bills for buying the maps!!
