Summary

I used this GPS to get me back to our vehicle after a few hours of snowmobilling through km's of trails.

Pros

  • Rugged

Cons

  • Battery strength

I would recomend these explorist series to anyone who goes hiking, snomibile, dirt bikes through trails, paths. It is always possible to get lost and I feel safe with a gps to always get me back to my camp.

They are easy to use, require minimal training. They are rugged, weather resistant. I used one that I had borrowed from a friend and found it very useful.

Summary

This is the first GPSR we bought for geocaching.

Pros

  • easy to use
  • great for geocaching

Cons

  • screen could be larger

This unit has been very reliable and easy to use. The battery life is better than expected when standard batteries are used. The screen is easy to read in daylight and easy to understand and maneuver the different pages. Tech support is friendly and reliable.
