Here is feedback from a user:

EMT911T2U,

With the quad-helix antenna that it has that makes the locking of signals quicker, I could say that this is one of the best Garmin GPS! I appreciate the compass and the barometric altimeter feature that it has. It feels good in hand and being able to know the sun and moon times is very nice. You can feel the confirmation whenever you press its buttons. Compared to my Garmin 265W, this one has a good back up for outdoors and even for marine use.
