Strengths: Simple and reliable.Weaknesses: None this time around!Bottom Line: I had the first one for about 2 months before it decided to take a dump on me; it quit powering up. I sent it to Garmin and they gave me a brand new one - no questions asked. I've had this one now for almost a year and it is rock solid. Everything works great and does exactly what I need it to. It's also great for MTBking because it remembers your course then when you want to do it again or e-mail the course to your friend, he/ she can easily follow it. I'd buy another one if I had to. I have friends with the road map models, but they claim they never use the road maps nor terrain.

Strengths: None that can't also be done with mapmyride.com for free.Weaknesses: Short battery life, flimsy mount, unreliable PC connection, small displayBottom Line: Worst bike accessory spend ever, and that was with a great deal! The display is too small to read while cycling, the latch that hold the unit onto its mount breaks off easily, and the interconnection to both the Mac and the PC is unreliable and inconsistent. Batteries aren't removable, and the charge doesn't hold for more than one ride. Plus, when compared to others with the same device on the same ride, the mileage distance is inconsistent. How can that happen?
