Best GPS device I have owned
on July 5, 2023
Posted by: Bart B. Van Bockstaele

I ordered this on 20230703 in the afternoon and it arrived the very next day just before noon by Purolator, which is much more reliable than Canada Post.
The device is small and light, and because it does not have a touch screen, it is far easier to put in a pocket or a bag without pressing any controls by accident. The screen is black and grey, like the 'old' LCD displays. That means it is much easier to read in bright sunlight than the other two Garmin GPS devices I have owned (and that broke). To me, this is a winner. The ability to use field-replaceable AA-batteries is a major advantage and the claim that they can last "up to" (whatever that means) 168 hours at its highest precision promises to be wonderful as well.
There are a few disadvantages as well:
The screen is glossy. That means it can (and often is) difficult to take a picture of it because of the glare caused by the sun or other light sources.

The screen is small, so the text is small, obviously. However, it would be great to have the option of making the GPS coordinates significantly larger. There is more than enough space to do that on a separate screen. For example: a screen with nothing else than the coordinates and the accuracy.
The buttons are well protected but require significant force. It would be great to have a way to make that a little easier.
I would recommend this to a friend!
