It offers all the most essential navigation data--enhanced accuracy, extensive storage for waypoints, and reversible routes and tracks--on an easy-to-read display. Also, with the help of Garmin's exclusive TracBack technology, users can retrace their steps by following an electronic "breadcrumb" trail back to their original starting point.

The trip computer tracks and maintains important data, such as trip distance, trip timer, and other non-mapping navigation data.

The device is waterproof to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards and can be submersed in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes without damaging the components. The 100 x 64 pixel monochrome display with backlighting is compact but easy to read in almost any light condition.

- Seems a bit dated
Was hoping for something a lot better than this.Display looks like 1980's technology, and it is pretty confusing to use.It takes a while for the satellites to connect & when they do, it is still a bit uncertain what to do next.I imagine there will be much better technology with much better displays coming out soon.

This is exactly what I was looking for.It gives accurate MGRS after a short satellite link up, and is durable enough to go where I go.Thanks!

- DECENT GPS
Pros:
Clear, informative and responsive GPS
Small and lightweight unit
Clear display
Easy to use pages and menus
Uses any AAA battery, alkaline or rechargeable
Cons:
This gps is unreliable tracking distance when using it running, biking, or hiking. I used this for unit for long runs, bike rides, and hiking. I have to bring my Magellan Triton along if I want an accurate distance.
Reception is really bad in Europe & Afghanistan. As soon ... Read More
Rating: - Good Value
I bought this for sailing on our Hobie.Will use primarily to track speed and direction.Other features are a bonus.Like the fact that it uses AAA batteries, as spares are easier than recharging.
Rating: 
- Weak signal
I don't know if my specific product was defective or if it was a design flaw, but the "weak signal" symbol and accompanying beep were constantly coming up.I had intended to use this during mountain biking, but it would not keep accurate distance.I even tested it while driving, where I could compare the odometer reading in my car with the odometer on the GPS.Still, the Foretrex was significantly lower than the actual mileage.
