Short battery life
Using Rechargeable AAA batteries, with the Battery Saver feature turned on, about two hours. Sometimes I get more using alkalines, but not much more. Honestly, this unit is worthless, because I can't trust the batteries.

Small, accurate, very user friendly
Many years ago when I lived in Utah I used a Garmin 12XL for exploring the desert areas. I sold that when I moved to Illinois as what little public land space there is has well marked trails.

I would recommend this for its size and performance
I have owned this GPS for about a year now, I love it for it's size and detail it provides on the track log or "breadcrumbs", it can remember ten thousand points, which is great for downloading your last trip. It pulls in signals very well. I se...

Excellent value for money
The Geko 201 is a great GPS. I've had it for almost a year and never had any complaints. Sure, it doesn't come with mapping features, altimeter, etc. But if you are only going to use it for light hiking and geocaching, this is the best in the...

WAAS overhyped
I have been using my 201 for several months. Compared to the only other GPS I have used, a $10k Trimble, it is a bargain.

Don't worry about the on button!
I just bought a Geko 201 after using one that my friend let me borrow for a few weeks. My friend's unit had a protruding power button that admittedly was easy to push by accident. I decided to purchase one anyway for it's size, price, and...

Excellent!
I bought the Geko 201 as a replacement for my very old Magellen Blazer 12. The difference is night and day. Although both had parallel processing, the Geko picks up signals much faster. From a cold, fresh-out-of-the-box start, it took the Geko...

Great intro to GPS but be careful ordering accessories
This is my first GPS unit to own. I bought it for one specific task (to measure distances on my jogging routes) and for the general purpose of learning and using a GPS. It's simple to use, easy to carry running, and I'm completely satisfied with...

Has a fatal design with the power switch
This would be a good GPS for geocaching except that it has a fatal design/firmware problem with the power switch. If you carry this in your coat or pants pocket, its a sure thing that the unit will power up all by itself, drain the batteries,...
