  • Awesome piece of equipment
  • All in all though, a solid, handy little piece of equipment.
  • This is such a great piece of equipment that myself and several other squad leaders bought our own when supply said they couldn’t get them.

Reviews around battery life (5.00 of 5)

  • Battery life and sometimes the compass isn’t accurate
  • Battery life isn't the greatest on alkaline batteries if you keep it on all the time, so I'd suggest using lithium ion batteries if will be in areas with no access to power, or rechargable batteries if you're a weekend camper/hiker.
  • Battery life seems good.

Reviews around device (3.22 of 5)

  • If not for this problem, it would be an easy five stars, as it is a basic, yet extremely useful device, suitable for all weather conditions.
  • but...once you learn how to use the device this device is amazing!for the price
  • I got in touch with the folks at Garmin, and they issued me a replacement refurbished device, since it was outside of their warranty period.
