Advantages: waterproof
Disadvantages: none

...This is the base model Garmin that has mapping capabilities so at around 120 dollars it is the cheapest way to get started in whatever your new endeavor is. The casing is blue and black so while walking through the woods it does not make you stand out to the people on the trails. The black grips on the side are perfect, when out on the water fishing, to grip onto so you do not drop this unit. In the event you do slip and drop the unit it comes with ...
...it is waterproof so there are no worries about ruining it in the water..in fact I frequently rinse it off in the nearby rivers. The only thing I would recommend is that you do not purchase the carrying case as it covers the internal antenna blocking signal to the unit. I hope this helps. ... Read review

Advantages: Great coverage with pretty close readings
Disadvantages: Large trees keep from allowing great coverage and monitor is not in color

I've owned this GPS unit for over a year now. I use it for hunting, camping, walking in the woods or when I go geocaching (a fun little game and an extra way to use your GPS unit). I've been able to get within 1 yard of a point I'm looking for or just track where I have been and where I need to go!

Advantages: easy to use, very helpful, time saver, reliable
Disadvantages: may be distracting while driving

This GPS unit is so easy to use and program. I loved the touch screen, it made it very easy to plug in the street names or even search for a restaurant or theatre, and it was perfect for a long road trip we took and worth having for that. The voice navigation also was a great feature as most GPS units and I liked that it could be changed or turned off as well. Also a great feature is that it works in the USA and Canada and you can download maps onto ...
...voice navigator. I also liked that it has a search feature & Icons that show you where certain things are nearby like for finding specific businesses or hospitals, gas stations etc. Also liked how it informs you of toll's and can give you a alternate route to go if you want to avoid them. Great product! ... Read review
