The Pros:Lightweight and compact - easy to carry. Bright and easy to read 2.6" display. Great battery life.
The Cons:Does not come pre-loaded with topographic maps. Full geocaching support requires a premium membership at geocaching.com. Poorer sunlight visibility than the GPSMAP and the eTrex line that it replaces.
