What our customer's say!

"Simple GPS, good value for money for casual, no bells or whistles", Simple GPS, good value for money for casual, no bells or whistles. WAAS has issue in software needs to be updated to version 2.5 I think, so be sure to buy a serial cable to update. Buy the garmin compatible it works and you save $30.

"happy husband", I bought this for my husband. He hasn't put it down since he opened it and can't wait to get out in the boat. It was exactly what he was looking for.

"great stuff", My boyfriend and I just started with geocaching and this is a great thing to move around with it and help you find your treasure....

"Ok, but wouldn't recommend this one to anyone else", I got this mainly for boating and fishing. I wanted cheap and didn't have my heart set on a lot of features. That said, I was a little disappointed to see that I couldn't even upload basic geographical data, like lake outlines or major roads. Also, if the batteries get even slightly low, it locks up regularly. It can be very frustrating. Also, I would much rather have a USB or some other interface for transferring data because it can be difficult finding a computer that has a 15-pin serial port on it. I was aware of this when I bought it, but am regretting it now.

On the good side, it works, it's very solid and has a nice interface. For what I use it for it does the job. If you're looking to buy a new one, I would recommend spending a little more and getting the next model up.

"Useful Handheld GPS", The gps offers an simple interface and features for the price. Somewhat difficult to cache points and replay the cache.

"Garmin GPS 72", I have owned many garmin GPS devices over the years and the model 72 is superior to any I have had. The cost of this device can be quite steep these days and for someone who wants to use one for local areas-why pay the extra cost? At around $150-it is a bargain.
It is remarkably accurate. I have closed on my vehicle in the desert under one foot and always within a meter or two. I can spend hours off trail hunting for plants to photograph and, when I am finished, I simply use my GPS to find my car. I do not, generally, have any idea of where I have wondered. I simply do not trouble myself. I always carry extra batteries-user life is always grossly exaggerated by the manufacture. I also carry a backup topo map and a compass. Do not rely solely on any GPS.
I especially like the ability to download my hiking data into a National Geographic topo package for Arizona. You can use available maps to download all of the data you need for a given hike into your GPS. Garmin technical assistance typically requires long waits, but it is very helpful and it's on their dime. Great bargain.

"an excellent GPS", I have tried a Etrex Vista, Sportmap, and a Gekko but I bought a Garmin 72. I like the 72 for use on my kayak where I can use the large screen to see my speed three feet away. This unit has been put through the ringer and it just keeps working. I don't miss the mapping at all.

"Garmin GPS72", Have used the GPS72 now for 4 months. It has been a pleasure to use. The Garmin operating system is is easy to follow and the prompts make it unnecessary to carry the manual to use all of the features. So far it is waterproof as advertised as it lives in my canoes and while not fully submerged is subject to splash and spray every time it is out. Approximately 66 hours of use to data and am totally happy.

"Pinpoint precision", This is a great GPS, probably the best I've ever used. I started with GPS in 1997 with the Garmin GPS 38, and three years later purchased an eTrex. I was satisfied with that, but when I heard about the added features of the 72, I went ahead and bought it to replace the eTrex. It is far more powerful than the eTrex and easier to use. The 72 makes excellent use of its dedicated zoom and menu keys. These alone make this unit quicker and easier to operate than some entry-level units. The display is of higher resolution which makes things like track lines more precise--a real problem on the eTrex, on which the track appeared as a thick black line that didn't show many meanders or fine movements. Many of the software features that the GPS 38 had, but the eTrex didn't, are included here, such as the ability to measure distance between waypoints, pan on the map page, and time-stamp marked points. The receiver in the 72 is very hot and sometimes gets you a fix within seconds. The software is apparently upgradeable and the receiver is WAAS-enabled, so it's ready for the next generation of navigation. Like most GPS units it's completely waterproof and it's worked for me under very unfavorable conditions. The third GPS I've owned and probably the last one I'll ever need to buy. Another job well done by Garmin.
