Most Helpful Customer Reviews   18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: 1.0 out of 5 stars Have no faith in it, 22 Sep 2008 By  M. Swainston "Matt" (Bingley, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I'm on my second Summit HC, the first one going back as faulty as would only track for a short time before crashing and the replacement isn't much better, just going for slightly longer periods between crashes. It's not even immediately obvious that it's crashed because the display just stops updating - potentially dangerous if you're depending on it, and just very annoying if you were hoping to have a nice trail to view on Google Earth (or similar) after your walk/bike ride. If it worked reliably it would be a good device at this price. It finds the satellites quickly (although is much slower to get a 3d fix if you want to see your route profile). If you set off as soon as it has a 2d fix, you can do a loop and find that you've finished hundreds of feet above/below where you started despite it being in the same place. As stated, the Garmin maps that can be bought separately are terrible value for money. They're not cheap and are nowhere near as detailed as an O.S. map. As you may have worked out by now, I had high hopes for this device and am very disappointed with it. Avoid. Comment Comment (1) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Vince (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This is a neat and robust GPS, with a clear screen and easy to use. BUT do not be fooled by the illustration as we were: to get the level of map detail shown on the GPS, you have to buy Garmin Mapsource Topo Great Britain for about £80. (You also need a DVD drive, and a lot of patience to get through the slightly flaky Garmin on-line licence key system.) The maps themselves are an odd mixture of features for trekking: full contour information and tracks, but few OS-like land features such as churches. Loads of pubs, garages and nurseries (!) are shown, and you can press a couple of buttons on the GPS to get a list of those nearest you, complete with phone numbers! Back to the GPS itself: if you're used to in-car SatNav, you may be disappointed to find that this one cannot calculate, or even download, a route from A to B along roads. But if you wanted that, you'd have bought a TomTom! This GPS cannot hold detailed maps for the whole of the UK (it only takes about the area of one large county at a time), but it only takes about 2 minutes to download what you need from a PC. Having finally got the maps loaded, I'm looking forward to see if the GPS stops me getting lost on cycle rides and walks... Comment Comment (1) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
