Almost useless

 

I bought my 310 from Fry's Electronics several years ago. It worked reliably for about a year, then it wouldn't provide a position any more. It acts like it is tracking satellites, but it doesn't update the lat/lon and the time keeps getting offset. I...

Simple to use

Very limited waypoint/route capabilities. Unreliable

An easy to use trip saver.

 

An easy to use, inexpensive, reliable GPS. I have had my 310 for several years and have used it while traveling, boating, and finding destinations.

Inexpensive, reliable, easy to use. Save waypoints with two buttons

Pretty basic but with several useful screens to choose from

Overall, a fairly good GPS!

 

Bought my 310 almost 3 years ago for $100 at Gart Sports and haven't had any problem with it. It does lack the 5 min. ability, but I've used it for geocaching anyway, rounding up the last digit on the cache location coords. Overall, it has been a good...

Accurate to usually 25-35 ft, long battery life, built in light, waterproof, easy to use

Holds only 100 waypoints, only computes to 4 mins., not computer linkable for

Low priced for a reason

 

I bought the GPS310 for hiking, and I'm not pleased with it's performance. It usually locks onto about 8 sattelites, and holds them quite well, but never gives me an accurate direction. It'll say I'm going north and then change to South. So that makes...

easy to use, easy to read interface

refresh rate, doesn't hold its direction

This really early entry into the truly affordable GPS hand helds has always bailed me out when the expensive units failed. I have used it as an inexpensive back up for years in planes, boats and cars. An honest tool.
