 Weak Use of Product Explanations May 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am admittedly a total GPS novice. For such a person, I have to give Garmin very low marks on their Owner's Manual and total lack of instructions on how to use the Garmin Colorado 400C. The Owner's Manual describes the many different menus but there is no description of functionality or how to actually use the GPS to do or find anything. I think a couple of simple examples of how the menus work together to find something would be a tremendous improvement. I think this is probably a good product and eventually I will figure out how to use the GPS. However, why do most people buy a GPS? So they can use the GPS for marine or road navigation or other use they have in mind. Garmin does not describe or explain how to use the GPS for anything.

Just throw out consideration of any others, the screen redraw is as fast as any commercial unit I have seen (in fact it's better than the system on the Boston Harbour Ferry I drive). I bought it for my boat bag for the east coast, ended up in Los Angelis for a race around Catalina Island, marked the exact slip in Marina Del Rey I left from and found it on my return. Tide and current charts at your fingertips, played with it on the plane back (watched every marina in the country go by at 540kts) identified all the rivers enroute, bought the street maps for north america (~100 or so dollars) loaded all of north america onto a $10 2gig card and used it in Cali and Boston with out having to touch a thing. This 400c is the same price as the cheaper units after you buy maps for them and just blows everything else away performance wise. Just better than sliced bread. Plus its rugged as heck.
