For the price, this unit is awesome. I've read complaints that the screen is too small, but I don't think so. The screen is easy to read, even in bright daylight. The unit is packed full of features and it was very easy to learn and use. The drawbacks: The manual sucks. It's like they only wrote half of it and the other half still needs to be written. I wish they had a compass page. But I guess we can use the Mariner's Eye View and get something similar. I guess it just takes getting used to. I also wish that the split screen view could can be set for the track to be split separately for the two screens. I would like the bottom screen to be zoomed out with the tracking pointing north (like reading a map). Then the top screen I would like to be able to have the tracking pointed in the direction I am going. This is just a minor thing though. Overall, I would get this product again at this price. It's great.

This GPS is exactly what I expected. It is perfect for a small boat application, simple to operate, clear screen with the features of larger more expensive units. Running my boat in the shallow backwaters is like playing a video game as far as navigation. Just keep the boat icon lined up over the right numbers and you have no worries. Fantastic product. Product arrived on time as stated in ad.
