### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great For Geocaching
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2006*

I bought this for my nephews so we could go geocaching when I visit. It was the cheapest GPS I could find that had WAAS which increases the accuracy to less than 30 ft. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some other products and can only be used stand alone (e.g. no PC hookup) but it's perfect for geocaching (durable, accurate, very reasonable cost).

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not worth the price
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2023*

Unit doesn't function properly right out of the box. Will not connect to satellites and just showsa hour glass instead of pointing direction . The compass doesn't move even after turning 180 degrees. Thought maybe I had stepped into the Bermuda triangle but my etrek worked perfectly and put my mind to ease 😁

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good into to GPS
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2007*

Basic model, and now I wish I had a model with download waypoint capability.  The 100 works well outside in the open, but I have had very little success using it in a moving car or train.
