Pros Small. Simple user interface. Integrated altimeter and compass.
Cons Short battery life, no data connectivity for your PC

After talking to several GPS users and reading a handful of reviews, I decided on the Garmin eTrex Summit. I wanted a handheld unit to take along on hikes, ATV outings, hunting trips and snowmobile rides in Montana.

When the unit arrived, I was immediate impressed by the unit's design... Read full review »

Pros Intuitive interface, easy to navigate, points of interest, clear screen.
Cons No “Go Home”, no “ecoRoute”, looses satellite too often,...
Recommended it? Yes

I am not a big fan of GPS devices because I am pretty good with directions and I also like to have the entire route planned out beforehand.
