Nick C asked:


I am thinking about buying one, are they any good??

I'm particuarly concerened about the map resolution, in the UK it comes loaded with the Atlantic base map, is this good enough for navigating around European roads, not just motorways but smaller lanes and streets?

If its no good, what are your recommendations for alternatives, I mainly need something to find my way around when driving through europe. But also like the fact that the Garmin eTrex can be used for hill walking, sailing etc. Units like the Tom Tom one are fine for driving, but no good for the other applications.

stlm asked:


I know their features, but would like to hear a comparison of performance from anyone who has used one or, preferably, both. In particular, issues about wandering while stationary / moving slowly, reception under cover / indoors, click-stick versus rocker-pad, and SIRFstar III versus Mediatek chipsets. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the responses so far. There are things I like about both, so I appreciate hearing from people who own them.
