Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Almost perfect
I've been using GPS's for decades, for work and pleasure.The sensitivity of this product is phenomenal.This GPS does exactly what it is supposed to for a reasonable price.Why only 4 stars?In today's age of technology there is no reason a low power OLED with a map capable SD map slot is not installed.I would pay a little extra for that.Go with the AAA battery version if you plan on using it a lot; especially in the field or on mission.
Rating:  - Easy to Learn and Work
We use this wrist model for Mounted Posse, Search and Rescue and for mapping trails in the forest.The display is bright and clear - easy to read in sun and shade. For the equestrian it stays with you on your wrist, takes one hand to operate instead of the traditional hand held units.Lots of good features packed into a compact size.A good buy at the cost.

Rating: - Garmin's the best
Garmin has come up with a fantastic idea, having a wrist mounted gps.It works great both for hiking and driving.It's easy to download tracks and waypoints (with the recommended cable) to a computer so you can see them on google earth.Great investment!
Rating: - Excellent tracker
This is my final GPS unit.It does what I want.It's easy to set and tracks quickly and efficiently.
Sure wish these things could see the satellites inside of buildings.I got it partly to find my car in mall parking lots, but it would also be handy to track back to the correct building entrance.Once it's moving around under roof, though, it can't track well, if at all.
I'd like it to have a lanyard hole, so I wouldn't always have to wear it on my wrist.I could ... Read More
