I purchaced this unit wanting a simple GPS solution to add to my bike. It's small footprint was a key feature as I didn't want a large piece of hardware hanging off my handlebars(and it is small).
The features are good for a unit this small but the screen is a little small to use the tracking screen while riding but the trip computer is almost perfect in it's layout. Programable readouts are a plus. The battery life is good enough for a weekend of riding without recharging and it is easy to remove from the bike and put in your pocket if you need.
The biggest problem with the unit is trying to name a waypoint. Its almost impossible to use the character entering system. Most of the time it wont even take the name I have just entered for a current waypoint.
The only other feature I would want is street mapping but other than that this is a great unit!
