Good for car, boat, geocaching

I've been using mine for two weeks now and find it meets all my needs and is easy to use. The compact size makes it easy to keep in your pocket or slip it into the dash mount when in the car. At first I thought the display size was going to be too small, but now feel that it is a good size (not distracting) yet easy to read and understand for road navigation. Audio prompts are clear and timely. This is great for geocaching as it can get you close to your destination, then just pop it out and continue on foot with GPS in hand.
For off-road use, access to the compass screen is a bit cumbersome (required setting routing to OFF-ROAD and Pedestrian mode) and distance to destination in this mode requires entry of two waypoints (bug?), but I use the map mode all the time anyway. When reception is less than ideal (i.e. in thick tree cover)it displays a blue circle of probability/error, which is nice.
Display is readable in sunlight and is even unaffected by polarized sunglasses (how'd they do that?).
Documentation is weak compared to Magellan manuals, and seems to be aimed at basic functions with little technical detail. Easy to download waypoints from the PC and comes with all required cabling and the in-car suction-cup-mount/charger/speaker.
