Great Receiver. The color screen is awesome and once you load some TOPO maps on it, it has as much information as you could ask for on a handheld unit. The microSD card slot is awesome. with a 2 GB card you can fit almost the entire TOPO of the US. My only complaint is that it takes a fair amount of time to download maps, but it is a small price to pay for all the information that is loaded to your unit. Satellite reception is quick, and battery life is good.
