Strengths: Screen Maps Signal Strength
Weakness: Location accuracy and some bugs with older firmware
I have used this GPS now for almost 2 months for both Cycling and Geocaching. For Cycling it's a tad big, but on my mountain bike it works fine. I do like that it maps my tracks as well as my elevation. I also like that I can upload my tracks and then overlay over satellite maps. For Geocaching it's a great little unit. It seems to be very accurate AFTER FIRMWARE UPDATE. While I am new to this, I...
Strengths: Paperless Geocaching, Ease of use, Profiles
Weakness: Cost, Battery life, Screen brightness
I started geocaching with a Garmin Vista HCX GPSr and constantly found myself needing to print out the cache info sheets. This took a lot of time, paper, and I didn't always have the page I needed. Although the Vista was perfect for everything else, I wanted something I could paperless geocache with. Enter the Garmin Colorado 400t. The initial release of the Colorado was more than disappointing....

Good options but takes some getting used to
Strengths: Lots of features Altimeter (barometric)
Weakness: Don't use alkaline batteries takes some time to find satellites
I really like the elevation charts since I was usually using it while hiking. It seemed to take some time getting a satellite signal. Not sure if that was because I was using alkaline batteries the first few times. It seemed after about a 6 hr hike it would complete about the batteries being dead. I have switched to lithium (non-rechargables) and have been able to go much longer. I am still...
