I’m happy to discover that al last Garmin has released a multi-purpose device suitable for all-terrain purposes.
Nevertheless they are really far from offering a decent successor of glorious 276c.
Perhaps this is only a test for this kind of market.
I hope that in the next month we could see an unit with enhanced features that will better suit the tastes of advanced users.
.larger display (4″ – 640×480 would be great)
.2 axis compass sensor (can’t do without in pedestrian mode)
.capability to manage multiple tracks
.tracback
and all the features we can find in units such as 276c or 60csx.
