Compact and very handy on trip to Canada fishing. Would be nice if the screen was a little bigger.
Unit works well for back country hiking, with good accuracy, good graphics, and good battery life. Overall, I am happy with it. But it is very difficult to learn how to use, because the instructions (both written and on-line) suck. User you-tube videos are necessary to figure out how to do the many things this unit is capable of. Also, there can be significant lag-time for the screen to refresh, which is not a big deal but is a nuisance.
