Review: I just upgraded from an eTrex Legend. My wife got me this for my b-day. This thing is freaking awesome! There is a slight learning curve but for the most part once you know a garmin you can get through it. The day I got it I just had to take it on ...

Pros: Compact and Reliable Go-anywhere GPS

Cons: Long Start-up Time

The Bottom Line: Get 76CSx if you want a GPS that can go with you in multiple cars and also on bike trails and treks.

The Bottom Line: This unit is an excellent choice in handheld GPS's.

Pros: Very accurate GPS location and tracking. Floats. Standard batteries. Good PC software.

Cons: Expensive. Menu system hard to learn. Separately purchased Topo map is way outdated.

The Bottom Line: Great all-around choice for hiking, boating, driving, etc. Super accurate and tracks very well in heavy cover and moving vehicles. Topo map is not wonderful. You'll need City software too.

Review: Ouch. I just plunked down $550 for my new Garmin GPS receiver and the North America Topographical Map CDROM. And I'm not done yet. I likely will have to purchase the Inland Lakes, Bluechart Atlantic, and a North America City map. Though i am an ...

Pros: Display, Features, Time to Locate Itself

Cons: Mapping Detail, Cost of Additional Software

The Bottom Line: I recommend this GPS. Be prepared to purchase some additional software if your mapping requirements exceed interstates and major highways.
