Love this GPS. Very easy to use and works great!

Takes 5 seconds or so for the map screen to load. Other than that this gps works great for me.

I have been using this GPSr for about 10 months now. It has put me right on top of caches again and again, even with heavy tree cover. With the Cache Register program, it becomes a decent paperless device. The included maps are far better than what is included in most other GPSrs and additional maps are cheap. Negatives of the device are the battery life and slow refresh.

Tried it out for the first time today, not as easy to use as my HTC Touch Pro phone with Geocaching software, but a whole lot more reliable (currently having software issues with my HTC). I think once I get the feel for the PN-20, it's going to be really great! I've already moved it up to my Primary Device! Update: The only thing I don't care for is the software, TopoUSA. It's very unintuitive, and very difficult to move around in. I'd rather have a menu bar along the top of the screen with words to click on rather than the vague icons and folder tabs along the top and bottom. Seems like every time I use it, it's like learning it all over again, perhaps because I don't use it that often. Because of this, I've changed my rating from a 5 to a 4. Great hardware, not so great software.

It is slow. But does fine for walking. I can't imagine using the detailed maps with it. Doesn't work in a car to plot a road lot. Will take forever or lock up. But its sturdy. Easy to use. Links well with the computer. Lots of upgrades when you buy it with the software. But I really have not figured it all out yet.
