Score 9.0/10

John, Longhope Gloucestershire

+ Excellent syncing with PC contact, diary and task data via USB cradle - it just works! - Good screen. Able to be used for Tom Tom GPS route mapping. I've also got three years of European tide data which can be graphed and tabled for my local port. The (extra) voice control and output works well. Useful voice recorder.

- A bit big but I am getting used to it. Poor battrey life. One day and less if heavily used. Not supplied with 12V lead.
