90% liked the bright and clear display
I purchased a specific microSD card for the closest USGS topo map and it seems fine.
The satellite page and maps page have a crisp and well-laid-out user interface.
83% found the interface intuitive and easy to use, but 17% found it confusing
If you have used a GPS before, you are ready to go with this handheld GPS unit. However, if you are new to GPS, there is a short learning curve.
The device has buttons instead of a touch-screen, making it easier to use with one hand in the bush.
I warn that the screenshots on Amazon and Garmin page do not match with the actual product.
There is no option to disable custom maps when importing them, making it difficult to access other maps.
91% praised for its rugged water resistance
Our device has a typical Garmin design with a rugged and waterproof build.
