- This GPS receiver is pretty obviously aimed at a subset of the usual customer community, so you\'ll want to make sure you know what it can / can\'t do before jumping at its great price.You do not get a color screen, or fancy graphics that you\'d get with a $300+ unit, or even on your smart phone.What you do get is a pocketable GPS with super-long battery life (far better than any phone\'s), support for all existing navigation networks (GPS and Galileo and Glonass -- at the cost of reduced battery lifetime), and some broadly-useful core functions. It\'s great for old-school (pre-smartphone) geocaching, or orienteering, or hiking.My only real complaints so far (having just received the unit) are with the user interface / documentation. The menu system is classic Garmin, a bit \"clunky.\" Digging through the manual isn\'t much better, since the unit and its manual both use... unique... terms for some things, and they\'re not explicitly defined anywhere.I bought the unit primarily for geotagging photos -- I need it to record a log of my path that I can later save to a GPX file. As far as my interface to the eTrex SE, this means I most often want to turn on / turn off logging and then save the data -- but doing this takes a relatively deep dive in the menus. Deeper than I\'d like it to be, at any rate.I\'ll update this review after I put some miles on this gadget (and so can speak semi-intelligently to its actual battery life and accuracy), in the meantime, here are some terms to know as you start using the device or perusing its manual:Activity -- a recorded GPS track. You can have the device start recording automatically based on your motion, or do it manually (with some effort). You\'ll need to dive into the menus to end the activity / save a file in either case, so you might as well get used to this path.Course -- a pre-defined path you would subsequently like to follow. A course is defined by a series of \"Locations,\" also called \"Course Points\" by the device / manual (most folks would probably call them \"waypoints\").Expedition Mode -- a low-power mode to extend battery life. Bluetooth is turned off, your track is recorded less often.
