+mpilchfamily Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Great if your going on a hike and need to find your way back to camp or the car. It could be used for Geocaching but would kind of be worthless with only 3 waypoints to work with. Quote Link to comment
+CacheFreakTim Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Interface looks like the Geomate Jr. I suppose it would make a basic Geocaching GPS if it held more than 3 waypoints. That limitation makes it not worth bothering with. Quote Link to comment

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'm sorry if I sound rude..... But cheap is cheap is cheap. If you think cheap for something to steer you around (in the forest, mountains, desert or a metro you aren't familiar with) you deserve everything you get, including lost! I understand the desire to save money, but this is ridiculous. This item is something that somebody created just to get you to buy it. It is not meant to reliably get you from here to there, are anywhere else, for that matter. It is meant ONLY to bilk you out of $40.00 + shipping and handling. Think about it... this is a "dollar store" item. Do you really want to trust it? If so, kiss that 40 bucks before you spend it because your 40 bucks isn't worth a nickle to you, it seems.

+splashy Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Garmin is launching many new models, because of that many other good models are on sale or on craigslist. A gps should have at least routes, tracks, 200 waypoints, couple of thousand poi's. Not even talking about battery time and screen visibility. If not do not buy. Quote Link to comment
carball Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 um...I think this one is good for hiking and help you find the way or car when you are out. Garmin one is really good as my friends all have those. But I want to try this one. Lol. Quote Link to comment
+Avi8torAce Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Personally I think that it is a waste of money. Soon you'll find out that its capabilities are very limited and you'll want to upgrade. Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 It appears that this is only to mark waypoints of places you are currently at so that you can return. Even at 40 bucks you can get one cheaper. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I bet you could find a 'regular' used handheld for the same money. Quote Link to comment
