I bought it mainly to geocache and it has been pretty good to me. It's great because it is quick to transition from either driving to hiking mode. Love the touch screen. I love my new Garmin.

Added price of lake maps is out of line. Goecaching...haven't tried yet, but the download was easy and entry of coordinates very easy. All in all, I am very pleased with the purchase.

The 5 star reviews were written and posted by the Garmin company. I travel the world frequently and use a GPS wherever I go and I recently purchased one of these units along with a European map to save money on a rental GPS when I rent a car. The problem is, that I had to rent a GPS anyway because Garmin Maps are worthless in Europe. Believe me when I tell you, that the Garmin was no help whatsoever. It had no capability of finding simple addresses and the map put the vehicle about a mile from the actual road. <br /> <br />I compared notes with others in Europe and found that they too were unable to use Garmin equipment successfully. Tom Tom equipment was far superior and extremely accurate in Europe and I wound up renting a Tom Tom anyway for my long journey. Don't buy into the hype that Garmin is the best. It is the worst. And with all said and done, they will not give a refund for the garbage that they sell. Stay away from Garmin if you are traveling anywhere outside the United States.

I have only got about 4 hours on the battery. It has no battery saving mode. A place to attach a strap would be nice, for kayaking. I use it on my motorcycle, car, hiking, geochching.

I am extremely dissapointed that it wasn't included. I can't even register the thing without it and its useless for planning routes and geocaching until I get it. I really wish it had pointed that little factoid out somewhere. Bad move guys!! I want anyone that is buying this unit to be aware that you must order a USB cable seperatly.
