I got mine on sale at Newegg for $117. As far as handheld GPS units go, that is probably as cheap as they come. Depending on the number of satellites overhead, the unit's accuracy typically ranges from 7 to 20 feet. The pre-programmed, base map data is...

While the base map data is good, you'll need the optional MapSource data if you have to locate specific addresses, for example as in delivering pizzas. And, in order to download the optional MapSource data, you'll need a computer with a male serial...

Great.........I use it for fishing and to record how far I've walked, etc. I now can tell how fast my son is driving.

I don't have a serial port on my laptop and haven't been able to find a way to load the maps.

I use this any time and every time I am hiking and it gets this directionally challenged person home every time. Use it fishing the great lakes for fun and the saved waypoints are as accurate and repeatable as the $800 GPS we have on the boat.

Limited capability but for the price it and what I bought it for it serves me wonderfully.

Very reliable, especially compared with other GPS units I've used. I generally use it for hiking and geocaching and the waypoints are easy to input. It is very accurate and the 'current location' doesn't fluctuate much like others do

the battery life with the backlight on is very short. I wish it had more memory, but it holds plenty of waypoints- just not enough downloaded maps for me :)

This is the second one I've owned. Great newegg price, great shipping. I use it for geocaching, backpacking, and teaching navagation to Venturing Crews at Laguna Station High Adventure Sea Base in Texas.

Serial connection is outdated. There are many more features in other units, but this one has the features I use the most.

Tough, rugged, and reliable. I use them with my 5th graders.

Batteries don't last very long

It is small, portable, and when it loses the sats it will regain them within 15 to 30 secs, very good.

It needs to be compatable with the vehicle dc power system, the batteries do not last as long as advertised. The screen is too dark, in the bright sunshine in a vehicle it is hard to see the screen.
