I bought the device primarily for geocaching and secondarily for cycling. I was looking for a small touch screen device with good battery life and this was selected. It took a while to get used to the menu navigation logic, but it started to find the necessary functions and settings. Small device, but clear enough on the screen and map. Personally, I have a bit of pain downloading caches to my device (one at a time from a computer browser to a device). It would probably have been more handy with Geocaching’s Pocket query if there was a premium membership. You will then more often enter the mere cache coordinates into Garmin and browse the cache descriptions on your phone. In cycling, Garmin was supposed to replace the phone with navigation and carrying spare power supplies. The included bike rack is just fine, although there is a cable tie attachment. Navigation features, at least on a city link, aren’t the best they can be. Before acquiring Garmin, I liked to plan a bike ride to new areas with Google Maps and transfer to my phone. It is not very easy, at least at first glance, to plan a route in Garmin's Base Camp software (on a computer) or, when entered directly into the device. Perhaps because of this, I then had to do more in navigating the phone as an assistant to the bike loops, even with a little effort and learning, even getting Garmin to a tolerable level.

Convenient sized device and easy to use after a little practice. Attaching to the filler is a nice addition and helps when searching for a route when cycling.
Mainly intended for use in Geocaching .Delivery was fast and the company was already familiar, everything works fine.

A handy gadget. Originally I got it for geocaching, but it seems to be positioned on the handlebars of the bike to give information and show the map ... there will be more gunpowder on the thighs to look like :) In geocaching, the screen seemed somehow too small, but maybe you get used to it too. Surprisingly, when cycling, the information is visible and the map is easy to read.
Yes, it does take a lot of batteries, so I immediately got rechargeable batteries and a charger. Good gadget!

Now in active use after just over a month and the beginning of learning, it worked well and it was clear to use the so-called. with traditional menu settings. Mainly I used this when cycling, as well as geocaching. Rechargeable batteries (1600mAh) I've got the power meet the four-day cycling (~ 5-6h / day) power-saving settings, ie the device is also virtapihi enough for long trips. The bike rack could be better because the original attachment is with cable ties. I myself replaced these with a piece of elastic cord and a fastening ampoule.
