Review: No-frills GPS gets the job done - Simple, durable, and relatively easy to use. I always hike with a map and compass, typically on marked trails but wanted to explore a little more. I enjoy using paper maps and having that wide area view that's hard to discern on a small screen, but I got this GPS to give me a little piece of mind off-trail. I don't know how often ill use preloaded routes, but I do like the track back. Together with a $2 pocket plotting tool and you can find your position in seconds. It locks on fast at startup and has proven to be quite accurate. The trip computer is easily adjustable to any field you could want, with a set series of layouts to view. I found connecting it to my iMac to be easy and straight forward. Within minutes I loaded a few test routes and waypoints using BaseCamp, both with free maps on BaseCamp readily available online, and through importing routes from hillmap.com. I haven't done any torture testing, but the reviews from the military guys tell me it'll hold up well. I personally find the wrist-strap comfortable and barely notice the 2.5oz device in there. I do have skinny wrists though and the strap is a bit short so I can see how other people might have issues. I initially had a hard time deciding on this versus $40 more for the 401, or even an Etrex20 (similar price point). I eventually figured I didn't need the electronic compass or the potential hassle of constantly recalibrating it, and was not interested in the barometric pressure and more accurate elevation. I've read of issues where the pressure doesn't calibrate correctly and it can throw off trip data, or where you turn the device off and move (to save battery) and need to recalibrate the compass. None of these types of things i felt like dealing with and thus chose the 301. As for the Etrex, I'll wait a little and probably invest in a more fully featured device later rather than skimping now. The 301 fulfills it's purpose excellently, and I'll stick with what works well.
Review: Works accurately, not easy to use. - It is functional, it is handy, it is accurate, it is not very user friendly. A great concept, but they really need to work on the user interface of this. It is not what I would call intuitive. I'm not a techie, and I think a lot of typical users of this would not be either. I had to go online and download, print and study a million-page owner's manual to get the hang of it. And then study it again right before I go out hiking. I'm no dummy, but I found this to be a bit clunky in the user interface department. Lots of room for improvement. I suppose if you used it every day, the quirky operating system would become familiar, but if you use it 2-3 times a month, good luck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No-frills GPS gets the job done

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice and highly recommended to anyone going on frequent trips.
*by D***A on June 25, 2016*

By itself this product is awesome. I have both the 301 and 401 models and I really like them both. The only upgrade the 401 has is the jump master program which I have no need for. At first glance the 301 is a very simple device. It excels when you're going to a unknown situation and you want to keep track of where you are and where you came from. Take for example navigating a unknown hiking trail. You can navigate back to your original location with ease because of the track back feature. I also find this device great for pre-planning trips and outing. It took me a while to figure out how to do this but you can in fact "pre-plan" a trip. What I did was downloaded the Garmin Basecamp, and then downloaded a copy of Google Earth. What I do is go on earth, plot paths and waypoints, then export it to a kmz file. I then take that and import it into Basecamp with my device attach. I also use basecamp to export back into google maps so that next time I go to the same location I can see if I missed anything along the path I took. Very nice package. Recently I took a trip up to a unknown city for camping. Prior to that I scouted out some spots on Google earth and put them into way points. I also made one path I wanted to see. I thought this would have a 50/50 chance of being correct. When I got to the location, I found my planning paid off big with me knowing where everything is and I could easily navigate and found I didn't felt lost at all. This device is great for simple navigation in a unknown situation. It isn't like a car GPS where it can plot best paths and give a turn by turn with a map overlay. If you plan to buy this for that, I recommend going with something else because this will not help you. While you could technically use it in a car, you may find yourself very frustrated with it. Overall I highly recommend this device to anyone who goes on trip. With it being so affordable it's difficult to not just pick one up in case. You can also buy several DVDs and online tutorials on the subject of using this device effectively. Again it's very simple, try it out with running or walking around your neighborhood to see how it can help you.
