This is a good all-around GPS for outdoor enthusiasts and does quite a bit out of the box with the included Topo USA software. Routing on trails works well, tracks are easy to load.
Pros Color screen with the ability to load and view aerial and sateliite imagery. Quick access buttons make marking waypoints a cinch.
Cons No good bike mount for this unit. Small buttons can be difficult to press with gloved hands. Trip start and stop functions are buried in on-screen menus. Serial USB connection is super slow - plan ahead if you're loading satellite imagery before a ride.
Would probably go with Garmin 800 next time.
Pros
Works well. Fast startup. Color screen. Has geocaching functions. Easy gpx file transfer. Very tough, seen a few hard hits.
Cons
| ThankPoor battery life, even with battery save mode turned on. Small display size.
