It dies and no replacement. Don't waste your money.
 
Review Date: September 3, 2010
Reviewer: Sangmin Lee, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA United States
It has a lot of great features and easy to use. Small and light. I used it for a little more than a year and had been happy. And one day, it died. I couldn't even turn on. And the customer service says they cannot replace nor fix. They suggested to by a refurbished one at lower price, but I wouldn't waste my money again. Don't even read what is good about this item. That is waist of time. Just ignore this item exist in the world. And look for some other brand. That is what I'm gonna do.
Good caching GPS

Reviewer: G. M. Handlon, Colorado Springs
This is our first handheld GPS, and we are very pleased with the features. It's big, but it's durable. The backlit color screen is easy to see in daylight. There are several navigation screens to choose from, and most of them are configurable. Accuracy depends upon the number of satellites locked, but it usually puts us within 3ft. We've run into several other geocachers in the field, and have not suffered GPS envy yet.

Pros:

~ durable & waterproof
~ well lit color screen
~ very accurate
~ configurable screens
~ plays well with [...]
~ audio alarm

Cons:

~ small screen with not-that-great resolution
~ manual entry is labor intensive (touch-screen w/stylus would be an improvement)
~ alarm should be louder
~ native software doesn't work with Firefox
~ no camera
~ definitely not a road GPS
LETS MAKE IT EASY!!!!!

Great for geocaching
 
Review Date: May 26, 2010
Reviewer: Weather Witch, Northwest Ohio, USA
I bought this item for geocaching and it works great. Inital startup takes some time to do on the computer and a driver from the geocache site has to be downloaded to interface with the unit. However, it is very easy to use and works well for geocaching. You simply connect to the site and download the coordinates. It shows the destination as a flag with direct path. The course you traverse is in another color to show how close you actual are to the destination. I am very happy with this unit and glad I chose this one. Also, the price here is much cheaper than other sources.
Good value

Reviewer: Christopher Hopkins, hinesville Ga
This is my first GPS. And I am relativly new to Geocaching. I paid only $115 with shipping for it via Ebay. It is a good value for a beginner. You can upload caches directly from the geocaching website to the unit, and it will show the clues if you pay for membership. The only thing I do not like is the fact that you have to switch screens from the compass to the one telling you how far you are from the cache. It is really not a big deal, but fancier units I have used have that function, and it's nice. Other than that for the price you really cannot go wrong. The issues some of the older reviews seem to have with the software seem to have been worked out. I would reccomend this to someone looking to get into geocaching.
