Great little GPS

I thought at first glance this was a limited unit...I didn't see any classic Latitude/Longitude display on every GARMIN unit I've tinkered with before, nor was I able to find the altimeter feature other than as I marked a waypoint. I was pleased to find out after reading a bit of the manual that it does have all the very best features a GPS can offer. I climb mountains over 14,000 feet in Colorado so it is nice to know when the 14,000 point is hit. It is not a limited unit by any means I was able to change and personalize all the display fields to what I wanted. I find the unit very convenient, easy to carry with me, easy to read and easy to use once you spend some time reading through the manual. I find it accurate and every walk has been consistently accurate. I cannot yet speak on battery life or how well it works in a canopy of trees but rarely do any GPS units work perfectly in these dense areas. I can use it in some homes and haven't had the problem of locating satellites I expected from a unit with an internal antenna. I have full use in less than a minute outside. I rarely read manuals but admit that if I hadn't read and watched the DVD, who knows how long before I had been able to use the unit to its full potential.
