I used to have one, the only concern I had, was if you desire to load the Topo Canada maps (which I recommend), the 8M of memory didn't store too much coverage.

And the Topo map software is fantastic, I wouldn't buy a GPS that couldn't handle it.

I had one and traded up for 76 s

the 76 is pretty good - it only has 8mb of memory which was good enough to save all the topo data I needed for my area - I found it reliable enough and the batteries would last quite a while.
