It's [bad]. I have one. I wish I'd been given another make or model.
Batteries last about 10 minutes, and I'm not talking [bad] batteries here. The data sets loaded into it are a complete waste of time, they'll just about tell you which country you're in. .... Read more

Wonderful Father's Day Gift
My husband has been getting gifts from me for 15 years and finally I got him something he really liked. He has marked several fishing spots with it and everyone he takes fishing with him to these marked spots is very impressed with his GPS. I've used it to go for walks and monitor distance. It is a unique, affordable, and user friendly piece of equipment. .... Read more

Good in the bush
This is my second GPS unit and by far the best, I do not need the in built map function, in some cases my 4WD club goes where no man has gone before.

The trac back feature is fantastic. Good in tree cover as well. Overall very impressed. .... Read more

This is my first GPS unit and I've had a great time playing around with it, and I think it is a good unit for "f .... Read more

Easiest to use, But some problems
I purchased my GPS II plus in Sept 1997 and have used it throughout Fla bay and the east coast North to Hilton Head S.C. The elementry maps of the GPS III & III plus are not of use to me as a boater but some people love this feature.
I have used Garmen, Northstar, Lowrance & Magellan Units. The Garmen is by far the easiest to use, Very intuitive menus & text identifiers. Accuracy is Exellent The 12 Channel reciver is fast enough to provide accurate positions at high boating speeds, unlike s .... Read more
