I love this GPS. The touch screen is great and its very user friendly. Its durable, accurate, and very handsome. The compass is wonderful, i dont even have to take a step and it already can tell me where to go. I use it for geocaching mainly, but have also taken it hiking and biking. It maps the trail for later download. It is not too heavy and it is a very handsome unit. I love garmin products and this one is spot on. Some reviews say the back light isnt very good inside and it is a little dark but not enough to worry about - no one is hiking, biking, geocaching or lost inside. It has been accurate every time, even in cloudy, rainy weather and in the mountains. Paperless caching is a breeze! I wouldnt have any other unit. It has lots of features that i never thought i would want/need, but they are great to have. For the price, i would definitely buy the Dakota 20 again.

Useless Instructions.

I can't use the product.The GPS is easy to see when outside and seems to pick up the signal rather rapidly. I think it is poor management to not send directions with the unit. The person who writes them should know how to teach in a language that is easyly understand. There should be a definition section with the directions. I now have money tied up in a unit that is of no use to me.

Did alot of research and found this product. Turned out to be better than I expected! I've used it on new hunting grounds and actually on a road trip as well. Got me there and back every time. Using it to mark ice fishing spots this weekend-I know it will work great!

Comments about Garmin® Dakota™ 20 Handheld GPS Package:
This was a gift to me by way of me requeting gift cards for Gander Mtn for the sole purpose of buying a handheld GPS for Hiking/ Geocaching. I recieved it on a Friday, read the manual and was out on Saturday using it. I downloaded some Caches sites at a park and with a little practice found 1 out of the Caches. The other two I was in the correct areas but found the sites had been cleaned due to tree damage. I sure did enjoy the hiking and navigating to look for these caches. I will be using it for my cross country skiing outings to look for more caches.
