After we had bought us over a year ago a Garmin eTrex Legend for hiking and geocaching, we had the unit for a parting rubber (this bill to be a general problem of the eTrex series Navis) for repair. Since we are the repair continues wanted to go geocaching, we bought the brand new Garmin Dakota 20 and are now very satisfied with the device. The often criticized in the older models Oregon weak display is easy to read in sunlight. This was crucial for us the decisive point, the Oregon 300 preferred this Navi. Geocachers get your hobby good support from the chance to create GPX files and the cache information (incl. Hints and recent logs) directly display the Navi. This helps one especially with the "traditions" caches. The reception of the device is also very good. So far we have always done very accurately to our goals and often had in the caches, a very high accuracy in the searches. Battery life has been compared to the Oregon equipment also improved and is no reason for complaint. Only the electronic three-axis compass has now and then let us down. Especially if one shakes the Navi strong or very quickly reciprocated. Then the device was unable to find the north direction and turned in a circle constantly. A reboot and re-calibrate the device but then fixed the problem again.
All in all we are very satisfied with the device and look forward to the next cache tours.
