Geocaching

It's okay. This was given to me as a gift, once I mentioned to a friend I was using my iPhone as a GPS. I think the iPhone does just as good of a job as this unit, which always makes me wonder why I use this at all. This device has taught me alot about the menus and system operations of a "real" handheld GPS, and I plan to hand this down to my son (9yrs old) when I get a new one. (Garmin 60csx) As far as accuracy, this one has Parallel channels, WAAS and locks onto Satellites in under 1 min, and will get you within 3-4 meters. Has a bit of bounce, and slow to update as you walk to your waypoints are the only drawbacks. Battery life is excellent, 10-12hrs for normal alkaline for me.. but your mieage may vary.

This is a good value for the money, it is solid and reliable, but it is a little slow when it comes to updating the map feature. Overall, when you are on a budget it is great, but if you want the best, go elsewhere.

worked really well before it just plain stopped locking on to sattelites, the repair would cost 90 bucks, basically the price of a new unit
