Garmin Colorado 400t

By Adrienne So (wired.com)

The name "Garmin" is synonymous with "GPS," the way "Q-Tip" is synonymous with "auditory hygiene." And the Colorado 400t doesn't let us down: Its light, curved form fits easily in your palm. Navigating the great-looking interface one-handed feels easy ...

Unbeatable form factor. Click-wheel makes navigation more than effortless. Included carabineer means accidental drops are a rare occurrence. Preloaded topo maps preprogrammed with local haunts we're predisposed to frequenting. For free. Preposterous!

Use that 'biner - a drop of about 2 feet killed the power. Dig out your spare PC, as Mac software is lacking. Despite that road-lock feature, an average of 18-20 foot accuracy makes it disorienting and dangerous to use while driving.

This unit is amazing! It's light, comfortable, and well designed. Menus and navigation system are incredibly easy to use with a VERY intuitive interface. The cursor control (Rock n Roller) is a pleasure to use. Within minutes of getting this I had figured...

No built in rechargeable batteries, though that might not be a con considering you can get AA batteries anywhere ; Comes with U.S. topo maps, but you have to pay extra for the City Navigator maps if you plan to use it in a car ; Backlight on screen could...
