Me! I love mine & will never go back to Polar! I found the Polar CS200 unreliable because of the heart rate monitor. If my hr went to high, the computer would pause. NOt so great when you're about 5km to the end of the first stage of a 100km mtb enduro and you've no idea if you have 5km or 7km to go.
It's my first experience with a Garmin type computer & the screen brightness/resolution's fine with me. I love being able to download other folks' trail info etc.
I also like being able to stop at some unknown street in an area I sort of know & find a new way to wherever.
It was worth the $$$ I paid & the Australia/NZ maps are spot on.

Thanks for the reply, Crazycanuck. I'm glad to hear that you find the screen brightness & resolution ok. Besides price, worries about the screen stopped me from buying. I'm mainly a road cyclist, however will use the unit as a hiking aid with the topo maps. Any others out there who use the unit? What do you think?

I got mine a few months ago but just recently started using it...LOVE it! Mine was an upgrade from the 305 which I had a great experience with. I need the gps where I live, we have backroads/fire roads where it is easy to get turned around...it's very comforting to know my garmin can get me back to where I started if I ever took a wrong turn etc. Plus it's just downright fun to use too!
