Advantages: Small, Water Resistant, Memory for more maps, Simple to use.
Disadvantages: Black and white, Slow startup, Battery life.

I would not recommend for car use although great for off-road and hiking. This very portable GPS has been great for me. I use it mainly for geocaching and tracking my hikes. It comes with a basic map (pretty useless) installed and you can buy or download more detailed maps. I bought a topographic map of Canada for mine which gives me more then enough detail including: gas stations, parks, shops and tons more. This device will tell you your direction, ...
...level, ETA (if you set a destination), points of interest, bearing and more. You can also save your trip and view it on your computer, including the speed you were traveling. You can create routes and save them or use the course that you just took to mark and find your way back. For geocaching this is an excellent tool and has been way worth the money I paid. I will not be replacing this GPS unit for a good number of years. ... Read review

Advantages: Small, Easy to use
Disadvantages: none

I have a friend that loves this GPS. He will not go anywhere without it. He continues to try to get me to buy one and even said he would buy another just so I could have his. He is impressed with its ability to get you anywhere and he says that he has not had one problem with it. If you take a wrong turn due to your mistake then it will get you right back on track. I have seen this product mounted in his car and it is not too big or too small. You ... Read review

Advantages: Small and worth the price
Disadvantages: Routes chosen

A friend of mine has this GPS system. He does like it and I find that it is actually pretty useful. The only thing that I do not like about it is that it does not take you on the same route back that you went in on. This confuses me and worries me that I am being taken in the wrong direction. It does try to take you on the shortest path but sometimes this is not the fastest path. It may take you through the center of town rather than down an interstate ... Read review

Advantages: Big Widescreen, Easy to use Controls, Stylish
Disadvantages: Price

...had been looking at the TomTom One, but his unit has much more to offer. It has a bigger widescreen for easy viewing. This really helps when you are trying to look at maps while driving. I have been to some very far out "off the map" places, and this thing has always updated correctly to show exactly where you are and the best route to reach your destination. This unit is a little higher than the TonTom One, but it is well worth it due to the extra ... Read review
