Pros: light, robust, faily easy to use, battery life, accuracy
Cons: menu system not the most intuitive
"I bought this for kayak fishing, geocaching and hiking. Delivery speed was amazing.
The product is very light and connection to the computer and internet was very straight forward.
I've since scanned maps into the computer, georeferenced in google maps and downloaded to the Garmin before using on the kayak. Very easy, that suprised me.
Geocaching is now very straight forward.
The menu system is pretty good, however it is not the most intuitive. I have found the product a bit frustrating in terms of managing when it starts recording my route and when it stops, as well as marking waypoints e.g. when you catch a fish.
Garmin could learn a lot, in terms of ease of functionality, from the company with a piece of fruit as a logo."
