Digital camera reviews of Garmin Colorado 400t Handheld GPS Unit with U.S. Topographic Preloaded Maps
Digital camera Review: A Great MultiPurpose GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my 400t for a couple of weeks now and have had it on several day hikes. I've also used it in the car hooked up with the car kit. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase. Is it perfect? No, but the last firmware update dealt with the most egregious issues and it seems to be improving all the time. The shaded topo maps are great-looking and extra features like those for geocaching are a welcome addition. The rock-and-roll controller works well when operating the unit with one hand.
I would suggest using either high-capacity (2500 mA or higher) NimH or lithium batteries for maximum battery life. In addition, make certain to set the battery type correctly. If set incorrectly, the unit may indicate low battery, even when the batteries have life left in them.
My biggest complaint is the woeful inadequacy of the manual. It is more of a quick start guide than a detailed manual. There is an online Wiki that can be helpful, but Garmin should release a much better document.
