GPS WITH MANY FEATURES AND COLOUR
Excellent screen Long battery life Fast data tranfer to/from PC via USB (most GPS use slow serial) Large memory for maps, routes etc. Supports auto-routing for road travel (with additional Garmin software) Customizable screen selection Waterproof and robust.
USB connection means cannot be connected to a PDA. Maps lack detail for 'off road' use Route/waypoint creation difficult without PC Audio alerts when approaching waypoints, and proximity alerts can be created.
Goes with me every trip (since replacing a Legend). On screen route used for (basic) route finding. Tracks saved for reviewing later, comparing to planned route, and for a record of distance and altitude profile (with appropriate software). Screen very detailed and clear, even when backlight not used. Am much happier using this 'on the hills' rather than a PDA version.
