I was worried when this first came out after the great media hype. The actual reviews were less than stellar. But after 2 software upgrades, it started getting better reviews. Bought and have been using for about 4 months. So far I am fairly impressed. I wish it had some of the functions of my old magellan Platinum. I do like the paperless caching. It does save the hint, you just have to go to other options when viewing the cachs. It also doesn't have sun/moon times or peak hunting times. the other issue I don't like is that when you manually input a waypoint, and you get within about 40 feet, it blanks out the screen with message saying you have arrived at destination. I have not found a way to clear that screen and still keep navigating. This is fine for finding your car, but not for a geocache. 40 feet is like a mile in that sport. Hopefully. Lowrance will fix this in a future software update if us users send them enough emails.
