"To Iraq and Back"
Pros: Great Features, Easy Navigation, Tough Unit
Cons: Temp and Barometer Reading seem off. Bring lots of Batteries
Summary: This Unit went with me to Iraq where I served as a truck driver/convoy security op. It survived searing heat where others melted. It got me all over the country with a few hitches. Nothing too major and I'll chock it up to operator error. The manual is a must read and I'd sugest you play with it a few days before you run off into the woods. There are so many features that I'm still finding some uses for this thing. The meridiplat showed itself to be a tough gadget. It survived being thrown around after a few roadside bombs and never skipped a beat. The battery compartment looks like it would leak like a sieve but it really is waterproof (and sand and dust proof). Batteries can go pretty quick if you use the electronic compass so turn it off if you don't use it, but the GPS compass works great on the move anyways. Batteries seem to last longer if you turn it on and leave it on. I got about 10-12 hours out of 2 Double AA..... ain't bad.

Using an unkeyed civilian GPS receiver in a war zone is dangerous and in complete violation of DoD requirements. You put yourself and your unit at serious risk when you use a civilian receiver during combat operations.
