Garmin Geko 201
Overall, you don't want to wander too far with this model. Some users have complained it does not work well at night or in the downtown city. One common complaint is that the power button switches on too easily and the battery life is short. There are...

Garmin Geko 201 and 301 Handheld Navigators Review
The Geko 201 and Geko 301, are simple, inexpensive, small, lightweight and waterproof (IPX7), WASS-enabled (10 feet / 3m accuracy) handled GPS trackers. They are not map based rather providing a means of keeping a log of your track and guiding you back...

Garmin Geko 201 Review
The Garmin Geko 201 GPS is one of the smallest, lightest weight handheld receivers available. A mere 2.3 ounces, this unit won't slow you down in the field. The primary differences between this and other Gekos is as follows — the 201 offers a data...

Perfect Fit
I wish I had this long ago, my old suction Sat Nav fell off the window & left horrible marks. This product moulds the contours of the dashboard, never moves, holds Sat Nav in perfect position & no marks.

GREAT VALUE
This is the only GPS that I have ever owned and I'm more than happy with it.
Small and light ; Waterproof ; Easy to use ; Battery life seems very good (although I only use it to check my position)
Buttons a bit small if I'm being really picky but then it's a small unit

GOOD CHECK NAV
Excellent bit of kit and well priced. Until I hear more about Satmap then this will be staying in my rucksack. As per the previous review I only use it to check grids in bad weather so battery life is not an issue.
Small, lightweight and easy to use
Not really a weakness but as it is so small so are the buttons. making it tricky with big gloves - not much of a problem in reality
