In addition to an intuitive, user-friendly interface, this fully stocked unit has the ruggedness to answer your call to
adventure. You don't even need to worry about dropping this waterproof model in a lake it will float to the
surface for easy retrieval. The bright, 2.6" 65K color display with 160x240-pixel resolution makes maps pop off the
screen and is easy to read in direct sunlight. High-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver with HotFix™
acquires satellite locations quickly for fast start-up times. Pre-loaded worldwide basemap with shaded relief supports
Garmin custom maps and BirdsEye™ satellite imagery. Add optional mapping software via the micro SD card
slot. Connect to your computer using the serial interface. Powered by two AA batteries (not included) for up to 20
hours.
This would be a fine unit if you were only using it minor recreation. The color maps and visable tracks make seeing where you've been easy.
However, I use this unit for work where I'm out in the woods all day. It is supposed to work with programs to upload or download waypoints or tracks, it does neither. I thought this would be an upgrade from the old Garmin 76 but its the exact opposite. If you're considering using this for work purposes for serious camping/ hiking trips rethink it.
