Garmin GPS 72 (It is a winner!)

Author's Rating: 4/5 stars  

Pros: Easy to learn. Easy to use. Water-resistant. Nice Display.

Cons: No Mapping Features. Somewhat large, barely fits in shirt pocket.

Bottom Line:
For a non-mapping GPS Receiver that you can purchase for under $150.00 I believe it is a winner! Read More
