"Only for the serious outdoorsman"
Pros: Best features available
Cons: Expensive and uses batteries fast
Summary: Buy this only if you're serious about the outdoors and spend a lot of time hiking or backpacking. It is expensive to start and you will probably spend at least another $100 to buy mapping software. Not sure what the CNET reviewer was talking about, but it does have removable memory, but you should upgrade the chip to at least 1GB so plan on spending another $35 or so.
Unfortunately some of the mapping software available isn't as accurate or updated as maps so it should be considered as a replacemnt for a good compass and map.
It eats batteries, so I would always have an extra set PLUS one set for every two days out. That might be a bit of overkill, but all the technology in the world is useless if you can't turn it on.
