What's great about it: Seems to be a high quality unit with some advanced functionality.
What's not so great: Short battery life, small screen, difficult to operate.
I'm a first time GPS user. I found this unit to either be too difficult to figure out or unable to do some fundimental things. Was tring to set the units to yards and measure a few golf drives but could not make it do whay I wanted.
Screen is too small as well. Pleanty of room within the housing for a larger one, but they choose not to I guess.
Battery life is also poor. They will not even last a weekend of use.
On they positive side, the LakeMaster maps for showing water depths worked quite well. Was very handy and effective when boating in new areas.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
