Good GPS Unit
Have owned this for almost 2years. Used primarily for hiking, but we also take it on bike trips sometimes.
Controls are a bit quirky - but if you read the manual and spend a little time using it it's not bad.
What I like -
> Accuracy. With a clear satellite signal this gives you great information. Trip distance, avg speed, and Altitude - which I really like.
> Very small - fits in any pocket ( though be careful - it may block some signal.

Horrible
First let me say, I hope this doesn't go towards the seller, because the transaction was perfect, that being said, let me rate the product.

Sweet navigator!
I use this navigator often and love its convinience, and features. I enjoy using it, and think it would rank a 90 on the 1-100 scale.
Of course, it's not the MOST perfectly accurate one around, but that's OK, especially for its price.
I highly reccomend this unit to any adventurer, due to its size and how easy it is to use after only a few hours. .... Read more

REX gets my rave review
I just wanted to say that as a Mother who knows nothing about these units, and looking to buy a GPS for her trekking son, REX and his updates gave me excellent information that I would have never gotten from a dealer. His concise use & explanations were perfect, his updates were beyond helpful, and I appreciate users like him taking the time like he did to explain how the unit operates, his comparisons to more expensive units and his thoughts on how to spend your money in the right place.
