    • This thing is awesome !
Actually I use it as a backup and also when I'm on a boat with lesser experience than myself captain. These hand-helds are very accurate, a unit you can rely on.

    • Mine isn’t touch screen. Bad battery life.
It’s an accurate gps as far as I can tell. It provided good information. User interface is clunky and hard to get used to. The menu system is very old school. Honestly, the whole unit is old school. It is a good size if you can be still while looking at it. If you’re in motion, it’s too small to see well. My main complaint is battery life. I had no choice but to use Duracell batteries. Not sure if the usb supplies power. Each set of new batteries lasted about 3.5 hours before I was well into a single bar on battery life and needed to change. My micro usb tray was faulty out of the box. If you need a GPS with specific features like a compass or dropping pins accurately and you don’t have high expectations, this unit seems ok. ... show more

    • Not working right
Having issues with the way points and maps. Talked to support and they said they would replace it with new. Said they would send me a email with return info and printable postage. Haven't received it yet and that was a week ago.

    • Nearly unusable
The product is flawed in so many ways, of which usability is worst. Who designed it? There is just no easy way to start a navigation, one has to go through myriad of menus. I can't believe there is no one button that would simply say "Go To" or "Start Nav". Adding waypoints is a nightmare. Battery compartment is NOT water tight as advertised. This is the worst GPS I've ever seen. I've returned this unit as of writing of this review. ... show more

    • Difficult to use
The media could not be loaded. “I purchased this unit knowing little about it as there were very few reviews being that it was launched recently. The unit was received in good order. I was however extremely disappointed in the manuals enclosed with the unit. They are vague and generally unhelpful (borderline useless). Garmin has again piled so many features into this unit that you need a degree in computer science to take advantage of all that it has to offer. Navigation through menus is not the greatest and it is quite a bother to enter waypoints (of which I have many). At first, I could not figure how to even begin entering them and after much fiddling with the unit finally found a way to get them in, however, it was a rather tedious process for what should be a core function of a Marine GPS. Eventually I found a work around for this by downloading and installing Garmin HomePort onto my computer (which is not referred to on the Garmin site to support the unit nor the BlueChart G3 Maps (Southern Caribbean) which I also purchased) and entered them there (this sped up the process considerably), then transferred them to my handheld. It also took quite some time to figure out how to get the GPS to display all of the ocean contour lines which were available on my (separately purchased) G3 Maps for Southern Caribbean. I have used the GPS only once and after about two hours, the unit froze; no buttons worked and eventually the batteries had to be removed to turn it off. I plugged into Garmin.com and an update seems to have fixed the problem. It will certainly take me a while to acquaint myself with this unit and I do hope that Garmin will publish a better set of user manuals soon and find a way to make these units a little more user friendly.” ... show more
