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.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
