I would give this unit a 5 star rating but the small screen limits some activity. It is a wonderful unit for hiking, which is why I purchased it. Very light weight and exceptional battery life. I believe I have actually used it for 2 days of caching before without replacing the battery, and we use the backlight at 75% almost always. It is also a real machine for geocaching. I believe that the team has found close to 500 caches with the unit so far in the 14 months it has been a member of the team. It has been dropped and survived. Snow, sun, it doesn't matter it always performs. I have often thought of purchasing a 60csx but stick with this unit due to how we use it. Back country AZ caches for the most part. Snap it onto the Camelback and we are off. If you aren't hunting urban micros I would recommend this unit for its light weight and ability to add other topo maps. It is our favorite unit so far.

Took a little while to get used to but it was made even better after getting the topo map on a memory card.

Nice, small and robust GPS. Very low battery consumption. Good display which displays the topos nice.
