Pros: Color, Memory, Garmin Quality, USB interface, Automatic routing to destination
Cons: expensive (but worth it)

Garmin has done it. Given us color, what a difference. A ton of memory 115mb, 5x the 76S. It's more expensive but worth it color is great for maps. Memory allows much more flexibility for loading maps. You can't go wrong with this unit. Garmin has ...

Pros: Plenty, including larger screen, external antenna connection, excellent size...
Cons: Couple of dumb splash screens every time you turn it on...

Pros: Rugged, full of features, great value
Cons: 8 MB memory is sufficient but could be more

Pros: Color display, compact, high quality, I like just about everything about this unit
Cons: Can't think of anything

I've been wanting a GPS receiver for a while and had been trying to decide which one to buy. Garmin was always at the top of my list since everyone I asked recommended the brand. I didn't really know much about them but after a little research I settled ...

Pros: Accurate, large screen size, floats, waterproof

This is a great GPS unit! I use it while boating, kayaking, hiking, fishing, camping and driving. I ...

Pros: Works well.
Cons: But do you know for sure how well?

Pros: Easy to see screens, full complement of features, great reception.
Cons: Expensive add on maps needed to achieve full functionality, uncomfortable ergo form factor.

I've been using GPSr's for about 10 years and this is a recent upgrade from a Garmin 12CX. I bought this on eBay (second hand) for $325.00. I have been using this for a few weeks and am very happy with it. The electronic compass is great for slow ...

Pros: Size, memory, waterproof, price

My search for a GPS device started as a result of my tendency to get lost in the Chesapeake Bay. I ...

Pros: Large, high resolution screen. Great functionality. Great satellite reception.
Cons: No built-in trip routing functionality.
