  'EXCELLENT'
Strengths: Light Weight, Good accuracy
Weaknesses: Battery life if not careful
Overall: I use mine now for getting my position when unsure. I first got the unit because I needed a backup for my poor navigation skills, however now I am a little more adept at map and compass work, the unit only gets used for track logging, so that I can use Memory-Map to plot my hikes. Useful to work out how far, how fast and how high you have been travelling. A usefull bit of kit, however always take a map and compass, do not rely on GPS alone.
