I'm a Garmin fan. I have a Nuvi 350 for my car and a Colorado 300 for backpacking.

I'm a Sierra Club outings leader & Nevada Outings chair so I got it in case we had an emergency of some type and I needed to find a fast way out.

But for waypoints it's great and it works well even in box canyons! Gotta say, the Colorado's screen is much brighter than the Oregon's touch screen. Now if they could give me a firmware upgrade for the Colorado to make it find satellites faster that would make it complete.

BTW, Jim, Cabela's sells Bennett Marine's instructional DVDs for Garmin GPS units. For my Colorado it was a necessity B/C Garmin was too cheap to give us more than a "Quick Start" guide.
