5Maybe all you'll ever need
By Dennis DeVore
I have been looking for an inexpensive unit to use for a couple of years while I wait for this market to actually mature. This is the answer. My use is for trails and backpacking. I have been using my unit for assorted days, and it is amazing for a $100 price level. I particularly like the rugged exterior, which is easy to grip. Also the satellite lock is fast and impressive. The screen has an splendid backlight for dark nights and in the house, but other than as supposed or expected the readibility is just fine. Much better than an eTrex. Just remember, it doesn't grant you to install maps, if that is the case, you need a more highpriced unit. But if you just want to track distance, and fix points once you get there, this is worth each penny.

5Great GPS for the money
By J. Chapman
I am somewhat new to the GPS scene. I have an old magellan that
has a tough time getting position fix - even on a treeless hilltop. Not with this unit -

Very fast position fix. Works in the house. Got 7 tracking
right now.

I like the track log. It tracks the path you are
traveling. Simple to backtrack.

Controls are very simple and fast. Menues are nice and clear.

Great looking LCD.

For $100 bucks I can't imagine a better GPS.
