A good outdoors GPS with limited utility

Pros: Good offroad reception, new lower price, lots of functionality
Cons: Poor accuracy, useless without MapSend upgrade, small memory not expandable
BottomLine: Recommended for hikers and offroad bikers. Not recommend for driving or long-distance road biking due to the memory limitations and questionable accuracy.

Good unit, but designers are lazy

Pros: Easy to use, menu system is intuitive.
Cons: No rechargeable battery, screen scratches easily, computer cord hard to attach.
BottomLine: Good unit. Some good innovations. Lacks some refinement. Price is becoming more reasonable ($230-$300), and is probably worth the features and versatility this unit offers.

Good looking and smart

Pros: Looks good, compact and light. Can be customized. Lots of cool features. Great compass.
Cons: Pre-loaded maps are weak. Eats batteries quick. Screen hard to read in bright sunlight.
BottomLine: Well worth the money. The compass is worth its weight in gold.

New SporTrak doesn't live up to its potential

Pros: Great GPS satellite reception; broad set of features.
Cons: Poor screen viewing angle; usually requires backlight; keys unnecessarily hard to use.
BottomLine: All in all, the SporTrak Color is worth the extra money only if the expanded memory capacity, compass, weather functions, and color screen are must-have features.
