5 out of 5 stars Tough little GPS   June 2, 2010

I was skeptical about the Dakota 10 by Garmin because it lacked the SD card port and also lack of compass, but I found that the memory was more then sufficient. I've loaded (being piggish) the entire West Coast topo maps + marine Maps + Navigator city in this unit and no problems. Also my 4 year old managed to get her hands on it and dropped it in the dishwasher when her mom was not looking - and it worked fine after a full wash cycle, very impressive for the little Dakota. The screen has been criticized as being not bright enough - well mine looks perfectly readable in all light. Maybe it's an adjustment issue for some. And lastly I LOVE the touch screen. Best interface ever. I get about 16 hours with rechargeable batts which is ok - a tiny bit weaker then my old 60cs. Overall no complaints and a few nice surprises.


4 out of 5 stars Good Geocaching GPS   May 18, 2010

I like the paperless caching. Accuracy is not as good as the 60Cx but is much better than the E-Trex. The maps (which cost extra) are not as good as the Delorme PN 30 (which comes with it), but the battery life is much better.

I at first hesitated to buy this GPS unit. I was one of the first people to buy a Colorado when they came out and I was so disappointed with that unit for Geocaching that I sent it back and lost $50 on restock. So when I saw this unit come out I was not sold. When the GPS came in I took it along side my trusty GPSmap 60CSX to the mountains of Western North Carolina. I fired up both units before we left on a 6 mile 1700 elevation hike. The first thing I noticed in the canyon that we were in was the my trusty 60csx and and older 60c were both having trouble getting a lock, I looked down and the Dakota 10 was already locked and ready for the hike. Once on the hike I was amazed at the ease of use of this unit and how easy it was to get geocaching information out of the unit. If I saw a cache nearby that looked interesting I simply tapped on its cache icon and the cache name appeared at the top of the screen, I then simply touched the name at the top of the unit and out came all the information I needed to find the cache. I also appreciated that you can use the map to find a cache as well as the compass. Before the end of the hike I had put my ToPo card in my old 60 CSX and was using it as my backup and I was using the Dakota as my primary unit. When I got home and connected the unit to my PC I was pleasantly surprised to have the field notes download all the caches with the notes I had made right on the geocaching page for me to log with the time and dates of the finds. There are a few things that I do not like about the unit listed below but they are nit picky at best. I am very impressed with what this little guy can do.

Pros: Easy to use, great for geocaching, compact
Cons: little hard to read the display in some lighting, no audible tones



2 out of 5 stars Returned TWO of these because they DIDN'T WORK!   May 11, 2010

My husband and I had to return two of these devices because they did not work properly (at all, actually). Each of them worked the first time they were turned on. The next day, when my husband went to turn them on again, they repeatedly and immediately turned themselves back off (one went to a pixelated screen first). We tried everything we knew to do, even simple things like changing the batteries. We called tech support, but the wait was estimated at 45 minutes, and we decided it was not worth the hassle to make a brand new GPS work properly. To Amazon's credit, they took our first return, replaced the GPS, and paid for shipping both ways. They took our second return and refunded our card immediately, as we requested. Good service, bad product.


1 out of 5 stars Have to buy software to use this!   May 7, 2010

The map this unit comes with is VERY basic! It has only major highways. So right out of the box this unit is useless for any type of navigation, especially outdoors.
Garmin wants you to buy maps from them! Even though you can find them and download some for free, you have to buy software like Mapsource to install those maps!
Now why would you pay this much money for a device that is completely useless out of the box???
