Pretty good (I think) January 6, 2009
Leonidas (Greater Philadelphia)
I purchased as a Christmas gift to myself. I'm *completely* new to GPS systems, but a tech guy at heart. Wanted a device that was as good in the car as it was on the trail. I don't drive that much, and do 2 or 3 hikes a month, and this seemed to fit the bill. When I purchased the device and the add-in street maps (pricey) I was happy. My only knock is that it does not seem to do voice turn by turn, the GPS beeps, but I was hoping to have the street names called out to me. I will save up my pocket change and buy the car mounting system next.
Nice unit once I upgraded the operating system!! December 22, 2008

I purchased a Garmin Colorado for Geocaching and love it (I had an etrex Vista Cx). I initially had major problems with the unit locking up, and the only way to reboot was to remove batteries. I then found out that my unit was running an old version of the software which was easy to upgrade to the most current from the Garmin web site(seems to have fixed the problem but still need to give it a work out). The only other issue I see is that it sure doesn't look very waterproof like the other units do, even though it claims to be. The battery case has no rubber seals, and the clip that secures it looks like a location water could easily access?
 I would not recommend a Garmin Colorado 400t December 20, 2008

I have a Garmin 60CSx and upgraded to the Garmin Colorado 400t Handheld GPS Unit with U.S. Topographic Preloaded Maps. My preference would have been an Oregon model but I am frequently out in cold temperatures that hover in the single digits all day so a touch screen was not an option. I opted for a Colorado 400t model. I initially thought the wheel design would be an improvement over the 60CSx but after using the unit it is just a gimmick that only leads to frustration. I have found the unit operations cumbersome and less than friendly. I also have had a number of problems with the software, struggle to delete tracks that have been imported, and the screen goes white and the unit locks up. Yes the data collected up to that point is lost and if you were relying on backtracking to get home forget it. I have return to using the Garmin 60CSx; it is straight forward, reliable, and I know that it will get me home.
 Great for Geocaching December 2, 2008

I only bought this for geocaching. No more print outs. Also the sunrise and sunset feature is nice for us that tend to stay in the woods to long. If you use standard AA alkaline batteries they probably won't last the day. I use NiMH 2650 mh rechargable batteris and they seem to do fine. Great little unit has more features than I will ever use. I read in one review that the recieve was not very good. I did not find this to be the case.
I would recommend this unit to any serious geocacher.
so far So Good! November 23, 2008
P. Kraut (North Idaho)
This is a big step up from the etrex vista that I had been using. Operations are more intuitive. Large color screen is a big plus.
Reception is better. (it will even pick up satelites in my house) And the software is great. The controls are easy to use, and can be manipulated one handed. (try that with a touch screen). In short I am very happy with this unit.
