Geocaching

I have had this for a couple weeks now and while I am still getting my bearings with Topo9.0 and the navigation of the GPSr itself, I must say this is an awesome device. The maps are top-notch and very reasonably priced compared to it's competitors. I purchased a yearly subscription to the DigitalGlobe satellite imagery and am very happy with the quality. The only cons I have for this device is the proprietary cable and the screen size. I am jealous at the screen sizes of the more popular Garmins and Magellan's, but considering the size of this device, it works just fine. As for the cable, I understand the rationale, as the contacts are waterproof compared to a mini-USB connection that could become inundated with water if the plug were to come loose. Still, doesn't mean I HAVE to like it. The device is serving me well as my first GPSr and I plan on using this as my go-to device over my iPhone from now on.

Takes a while to understand how to set up the features that you want but once you do, it is a great GPS. Love that you can customize the displays to show exactly what you need. The drive/hike feature is awesome. My friends have Garmins and they rely on me to get them to the next cache when we are driving. Once you get there and park, switch to hike mode and it takes you right to the hide. The track display feature is neat too. Having the ability to load topo, satellite and road maps is very helpful also.
