Bottom Line:   
This is the 4th GPS receiver I've owned. My original was an eTrex model, a much more primitive one, but I liked it. Then I got a Garmin Edge 205 which was a good bike computer but a marginal GPS, then the Delorme unit which was, well, garbage.

I just got this so that I could stop being annoyed with my Delorme, and so far I'm very pleased. I just expected it to be as good as my original eTrex, but it's vastly improved on many fronts. The color display is very good, the battery life is incredible. And it is much sturdier in the way that it attaches to the optional handlebar mount.
