Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Love how quick it acquires signal. My only complaint is the topo map. GARMIN real gives you the finger with there top maps. The ST is significantly more expensive the plain 64. the price in my opinion does not justify the extra GB space the very, very plain topo. considering you can buy a 16 gb sd card for under 20 bucks don't waste the money on the 64. I will explain why I am not of fan of the topo. Before I took the plunge on this GPS I used my I phone and the Trimble app along with the onX app. what I enjoyed about the app was 1-the app is free 2-the apps uses very detailed 10 ft elevation change USGS maps overlayed over your position. 3-you could switch between a Google aerial views on your current location. 4-due to the touch screen nature and the fact that the apps are designed for hunters they had convenient waypoint markers that could be used to designate tree stands, game cameras, trails etc. 5- I travel a lot. Serving in the military I do not have the luxury of hunting my own private land. So generally every 2 years or so I have to start all over again. and the apps allow me a lot of flexibility especially for still hunting and and I absolutely love it. the problem with the app and the phone is it is very reliant on your phone coverage and even with good signal it takes quiet a bit for it to acquire a signal. and that's not to mention battery life. I pulled the trigger on this unit for its exceptional review. I also went ahead an purchased the ST for the 100k topo maps already installed. and I love the unit for its accuracy and fast signal acquisition but the maps just are not worth the extra money. Luckily online you can find some very good FREE but limited 24K maps. and some almost comparable to the USGS maps. If I were to do it again I would purchase the 64 save the extra almost 100 dollars and maybe by a 16gb sd card and the 24k maps from garmin. or use the free ones.
