Well worth the money. - Garmin Geko¿ 101 Handheld GPS Receiver I initially purchased a Whistler GPS200 unit. The GPS200 had a ton of features, integrated maps, etc but suffered ...

I purchased this product from ubid for about $100. I thought for a fully integrated gps product (inclusive of maps and in-depth functionality) this product would be a great bargain. I was wrong! It worked really well when it found enough satellites (3 minimum) …the problem was that 9 times out of 10, it couldn’t find any (and when it did, it took almost 15 mins to lock). We are not talking heavily shaded overcast days …I mean bright, sunny days in Colorado with a clear view of the sky. In the end I was convinced there was something wrong with it. I called Whistler and was told it sounds like it was working fine – but if I needed warranty work, they do not support ubid. I called Ubid and they offered me a full refund (they were actually pretty nice about it). I mailed it back to them and bought a Garmin Geko for around the same price. I’ve only used the Geko a few times but so far it’s been great. It has always found satellites (usually within 30 secs) and has yet to act up the way the Whistler did. It does not have maps like the Whistler but I figure what good are maps if your gps cannot find where you are on them. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the Geko always works this well. My advice to anyone out there is to stay with a well known product like Garmin or Magellan. Even if it doesn’t cost a lot – it may still end up being a waste of money.
