I primarily bought this for the Inreach 2-way satellite messaging capabilities, and it works well for that purpose.
The navigation is also a decent backup option for when your phone doesn't have cell service. The device is very rugged and appears to very well made. It's running on older legacy software, so don't expect it to be like a smart phone. Are there fancier options with likely better interfaces, probably. But this is a very reliable platform, and likely a secondary backup device that you can rely on

Access features outweigh the negatives making this a good device for geocaching
Really nice GPS for geocaching. I upgraded from a etrex 30 old version which served me well and still works just fine.This is a very nice upgrade. Could it be even better? Indeed it could be better! But I really like the Bluetooth, wifi live cache access capabilities. You can download a list or pocket query directly to the device without a computer.It did hard crash on me once already where I had to take out a battery to reset it. Hopefully a firmware update fixes that problem and it doesn't happen too often. Screen is bigger than the etrex 30 and the processing is slightly faster (although it could be faster to scroll around the map). I like the screen modes which will be nice on the trails. Battery life is great. Nice to have the battery indicator on the main screen so you don't get caught on the trails without enough juice. The control system is wonky but similar enough to the etrex I was up and running in about 15 mins.Overall this device is worth the money if you are into geocaching and you can spare the cash. The connectivity makes up for the wonky menus. It would be nice if you could just set up your favorite items on the main screen instead of a bunch of icons you don't need 99.9% of the time.
