Living up to my expectations.
I bought this unit to start goe-caching. So-far I have found it to be as accurate as any other brand providing, as the manual says, I have a "clear view of the sky". I have checked its positioning against every cache I have found so far and it is typicaly within 2 or 3 meters. Assuming that other geo-cachers use all sorts of brands I figure this is a pretty fair test. I am learning about the limits of the GP system itself along the way. I get the feeling some reviewers are blaming those limits on...

Take everyone's advice
DON'T BUY ITIf cost is the issue buy a cheap Garmin brand gpsr.I naively bought this model when I got introduced to geocaching last spring, thinking I'd buy a cheap gps receiver in case I didn't like the sport.This device has many flaws.The gps unit only updated your location every 5 minutes or so. Reading the manual didn't help, I had to contact cobra so they could instruct me how to turn off their moronic "power saving" mode.I had several days where there was not a cloud in the sky, yet no connection...

Don't waste your time...
I have used several GPS units (Cobra, Garmin, Magellan) and this is, by far, the worst of the bunch.Same problems as others have noted:no signal on a clear day in the middle of a field, lost contatct with satellites on a regular basis, HIGHLY inaccurate for both direction and elevation, and the compass is NEVER accurate.You'd be better of using blind luck to find your way around.Spend a little more for another brand and save yourself the frustration.Mine's going back to the store ASASP.(Now where...

No signal!
There is no signal. I got this unit for geocaching. In this "sport", you must have precise accuracy. Most of the time the accuracy reading is 40 feet or worse. This unit claims to have accuracy to within 10 feet. Even when there was not a single cloud in the sky and satalites are all around, there was very bad signal. I am probably going to return it for a Garmin....
