Dakota 20 has useful features at a reasonable price
I bought this new Garmin handheld Dakota 20 to replace a Dakota 20 that I lost after aboug 10 years use. Two features set the Dakota 20 apart from other Garmins in the same price range. 1. Three axis compass and 2. Touch screen. With this GPS unit I know exactly where i am on a track and which direcction I am heading even when not moving. The touch screen makes seeing my surroundings easy. I had tried and returned a Garmin eTrex 22x, which turned out to be useless in helping me navigate ouf of a forest. The joystick was painfully slow and I could never know where I was or in which direction I was going. The eTrex 32x might be better because it has a 3 axis compass, but it lacks a touch screen. Touch screens seem to only be available on more expensive models. I use my GPS unit in monitoring the boundaries of conservation easements. I load the boundary of the property as a track, record my monitoring track, mark highlights, and use Garmin Basecamp in preparing paper reports.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent GPS!
GPS works great for geocaching. The cold startup is excellent, usually has signal as soon as the unit starts. Battery life is decent, and it takes AA's, so replacement is easy if they die while out and about. Overall a great value.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

great for Geocaching
Had an older unit that required manual entry coordinates for geocaches and it was only black and white graphics. The Dakota is much more propriotary for Geocaching. You can go to Geocachig dot com and upload caches directly into the unit. Coordinates, cache decription, hints are all loaded into the garmin. It can hold hundreds of caches. All you have to do them is scroll thru the cache titles, sorted by nearest one, touch the screen and follow compass to the site. Very accurate and aquires satellites very quickly. Color touch screen. Very easy to operate menu. Good screen even in sunlight. Highly recommended for geocaching but works well also for camping and hiking tracking and back tracking. Mine did not come with very detailed street map like you are used to as in google map. So i carry my smart phone as well to help manuver to the general area, then use compass on the Garmin to take over and zero in within a few feet of cache. Garmin is far more accurate than smartphone.. Geocaching is a great outdoor sport for adults, children and families. Enjoy the outdoors!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

I bought a Garmin GPS
I lost my Garmin Dakota 20 and i needed a replacement. I require one for ice fishing on large lakes so you don't get lost. I received my item extremely quick I believe it was less than two days! So I'm extremely pleased with that! GPS works just as it should I'm also very happy with that.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Like new factory refurb
This is my 3rd Dakota 20 (I lost one and damaged the screen on the 2nd one, which was used). This refurbished one works like new. I like the compactness of the dakota 20 over larger ones. Battery life is good, I can get most of a days ride while recording tracks on one pair in the winter. The smaller screen is the only real downside because it's harder to read and use when on the move with an ATV or snowmobile. If you're buying this over a larger one it's the smaller size that matters most because the functions and features are basically the same as the larger ones.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

Good unit except for the touchscreen
Unit is great except for the touchscreen. It does everything a gps is supposed to do. Only problems I had with it were, the screen automatically shuts off after a while which is annoying when using it for continuous navigation. The screen is small and makes using the touchscreen difficult. I used the unit for about 2 months then gave it to a neighbor.Verified purchase: Yes
