Waterproof, robust (been dropped several times and still perfect), fast aquisition time, accurate, good feature set, good connectivty (USB, External Ariel, power/data) | | Weaknesses:
None, if I had to say something I would say the belt clip is a bit flimsy (mine broke when I accidently got it caught in my harness) but able to be relpaced with a £2 mobile phone belt clip (same attachment) so not really a weakness. | | Overall:
Best outdoor GPS i've owned or used, really robust and waterproof (both tested accidently many times), accurate and quick to aquire satellites. Best coverage unit i've had under moderate tree cover. Links to PC using USB (cable included) or you can buy a combined power and serial cable, I havent bought one, as battery life is very good.
The included software is a bit basic but there are other good free mapping tools available on the web that are fully compatible.
Like the others I bought from Amazon as they were the cheapest. - Great value, highly recommended. |

| | | Posted: 29/12/05 | | 'AS GOOD AS YOU'LL GET FOR A BASIC MODEL' | | Strengths:
price
signal acquisition
accuracy
features
battery life
mapping compatability
easu of use
good size clear screen | | Weaknesses:
size if it really matters to you | | Overall:
£118 from amazon, used it in a car, on a bike, and on foot, extremely quick signal acquisition even from 'cold', worked fine in a car without an aerial, user interface is good and simple to use, more features than you can shake a stick at, battery life is good and comparable to what garmin quote (28 hrs). simple to use keys, nice belt clip and cycle mount (bike mount is extra). used with tracklogs digital mapping software and its a doddle to import and export routes or tracklogs, not a 'mapping' unit in street level car sat-nav sense so if you want in car sat nav then buy a tom tom etc, but if you want a good basic but feature packed recreational gps that will work with tracklogs, memory map or anquet digital mapping then you can't go wrong with this one. |
