It's a Garmin.
"...
As was stated in the previous review, land navigation with GPS should be done in concert with map-and-compass techniques. I am not a fan of using GPS for navigation, but I like using the Foretrex/Forerunner series because of their ability to only navigate back, not forward.... See more

Great Unit
"...Combine this unit with their TOPO 24K DVD software and you have an incredibly powerful navigational tool.
Adding a basic gps with downloaded waypoints greatly improves off trail navigation. Pros: Light weightâ2.4oz (w/o wrist strap, eTrex neck lanyard added, lithium batteries), high sensitivity receiver, powerful navigation tool when used with a few waypoints and a paper map, basic and easy to useânot cluttered with too much electronic fluff, well builtâhas survived many drops w/o damage....

Unit locks up - poor support
"...I bought this to use biking and hiking.
Shortly after getting started, the Foretrex 301 would turn on, show the Garmin splash screen and then go no further. I could not even turn it off without taking out the batteries.... See more

Wow - Great product in a compact package
"...
The last GPS I had was an old Brunton MNS, which while being sturdy, sucked in every other category - heavy, ate batteries like mad, and worst of all, rarely was able to get a signal in anything but clear blue unobstructed sky conditions. I eventually threw it in the trash.... See more
