This is an excellent GPS device. You can do 100% paperless geocaching with this device, using the dedicated geocaching mode. Load pocket queries, including comments, hints, description, and the last five logs. The interface is very easy to use, and the screen resolution is very good. The mapping software that is included with this unit is also excellent. Also good to know...this unit is very durable. It is shock resistant, and waterproof. We had the PN-20 model before this one, and loved it also. We replaced it because we damaged it beyond repair...but it was due to carelessness on our part. The features between the two are almost the same...with the PN-30 having a much faster processor.
The only drawbacks to this PN-30 model are as follows:
1) Drains batteries fairly quickly
2) No electronic compass
(The PN-40, PN-50, & PN-60 have the compass.)
I would recommend this unit to anyone needing a hand-held GPS.
