Has a fatal design with the power switch

Date of Review: Dec 16, 2003

This would be a good GPS for geocaching except that it has a fatal design/firmware problem with the power switch.

If you carry this in your coat or pants pocket, its a sure thing that the unit will power up all by itself, drain the batteries, and leave you high and dry.

I suggested to Garmin that they change the firmware so that if the unit powers itself up and the power button isn't still depressed after 2 seconds, then it powers itself back down. That would at least keep the unit from powering up from a single jostle of the power button like it does right now.

I would not buy this unit until Garmin makes changes to the firmware to fix the power button problem. You will get very frustrated by it as it is right now.
