Very nice unit!
Very accurate unit! It normally runs within 6ft accuracy with the multi-band turned on. It has some nice features that come along with it and a few that I don't need, but having used sub meter Trimble units in the past that cost a LOT more, this one is well worth the money for most folks . I did buy an optional 1:24,000 topo map for my area which really enhances what I use the unit for. The maps that come with it are nice and will also work for casual GPS users but are not as detailed. Being able to use the maps and current location while navigating is perfect and the fast speed of this unit is pretty amazing. Also, I have owned several Garmin units in the past and never used their Basecamp application. It too is pretty nice and works well with the standard maps as well as custom maps.
My only gripe is using tracks for road/trail/travel data collection has been complicated a little by combining them into what Garmin calls "activities" and by default activity collections are always on so you have to sort through the activity/tracks to get what you want and be a little more purposeful about starting/ending an activity/track that you want to keep. I'm still learning this one and it isn't too bad, just different from the past units I've had. In addition, for you folks that are into social media, Garmin has integrated this (and other) units into a web site where you can share all of your data with others. I be an older guy and am a lot more private about what I do and where I go so this is one of the things that I don't need, want or use.
All in all ..I would buy another one in a heart beat. It has the accuracy, speed and ease of use that I haven't had in the older units.
