Great for field studies
I used these for my field studies while working on my Masters thesis research. i found it to be accurate and very easy to use. I've never had any issues with it. No need for more expensive brands. I'm currently working on a PhD at another university. I use a more expensive Garmin handheld, but the currently discussed model is just as good. I definitely recommend for field research studies or hiking and other outdoor activities.
