I just got one of these, and although it is not the biggest, brightest and fanciest unit, it fully meets my needs as a guide. Often I need to use a GPS in full stormy/whiteout conditions and a touch screen unit just won't cut it, so the toggle is great for that. I put an 8gb memory card in and could download every map I will every need on the unit, which is AWESOME. It is fast to power up, quick to get a signal lock and easy to use. The only thing I was it had was a bigger, better screen. Otherwise, it is always in my pack.
