Granted, there are better units on the market with more features, but I wasn't looking for a $600 model that could do it all. I was looking for a basic GPS unit for a gift for my husband that we could use to start geocaching. I wasn't looking to invest $600 in a unit without even knowing if my husband would enjoy geocaching... but after finding out that he does, and using this unit for many excursions into random fields and wildlife areas- we are REALLY happy with the value for such a great unit! My father has used to for geneology, to mark coordinates of gravesites. We bought the maps so we can use it on the road, too. There isn't turn by turn navigation, but again, that's not why I bought this unit. If I had wanted that, I could have spent more for a different model. But, I also didn't want to spend a lot on a unit. This does everything we want/need it to do, and for the value it has some really cool functionality. It was easy to figure out how to download the cache data into the unit. We're very happy!

Being my first GPS, I expected a lot from this unit-fueled by all the rave reviews, no doubt. The satelite pickup seems O.K., but not "lightning fast". I bought the topo cd so I could download maps and was immiediately dissapointed in the limited memory of the unit. It would be nice not to have to download maps every time I go somewhere different.
It works O.K., but I don't find it very "intuitive", the buttons aren't labeled. I bought this because it got good reviews and was worried about getting something with a touch screen. I should have got the nuvie or the oregon. I bought it expecting 2009 technology- it isn't.

I purchased this so that I could use it on my bike to take bike trips. This with the topo maps works really nicely. It is best to purchase the bike connections from garmin because there are different diameter handle bars and usually only the smaller handle bar holder is offered. The Garmin web site explains that better than amazon. but this GPS is priced right and does everything needed to be a great bike computer.

I'm still trying to install the "Trip & Waypoint Manager" software that comes with this unit. The installation of the software required that I first read the manual, which required, in the middle of installation, that I download Adobe Acrobat Reader. The Adobe Reader installation required that I restart the computer, which caused the computer to lose its place in the "Trip & Waypoint Manager" software installation. So now the Manager software tells me that I need to uninstall it, and reinstall. I realize that many computers already have Adobe Reader on them, but mine does not. Very poor planning on Garmin's part.
The rest of the installation also requires an internet connection.
The Summit itself seems fine so far, but, of course, I can't use some of the features without installing this software.

I ordered this Garmin Etrex Summit HC and have begun using it for geocaching. It works for me!
