I own many Garmin GPS and I like them until I Bought this Colorado 300.

I own an III Plus, a 60 CSx, a 498 and a Colorado 300.

I think that Colorado 300 is a Map GPS, that you can do almost nothing using the maps.

For example:



1) I can enter a Waypoint using the map, but I cannot move the waypoint using the map.

2) I cannot enter or edit a Route using the Map. I've to program all the waypoint before I Plan a route. (It’s the worst way I can enter a route, ever).

3) When I chose "view map" in the Route Planner, Colorado shows me the entire route in a 3" display and I cannot zoom or scroll the map to see the route!



These are only 3 examples, but if you try to use Colorado to Plan Routes and manage waypoint, you will see that are so many difficulties and the map is not used at all.



You put a revolutionary interface and made a very pretty GPS, but I think that the software needs to change allot. The only way to insert routes and waypoint in Colorado is using Mapsource, but I cannot carry my notebook on the trail or to the sea.

I currently use a 60CSx (hiking), an eTrex Vista HCx (cycling), and nuvi 660 (car). All are outstanding products. I'm really looking forward to an update of the hand-held units.

Now if they could only manage to make the map licenses transferable from one unit to another when I buy new ones!
