<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">I purchased my 400T back in November and LOVE it. In comparison
to other models, the interface took a little getting used to. One of the best
features on it as far as I am concerned is the ability to customize the user
profile to have everything that you normally use, right at your fingertips
rather than hunting through endless menus. I find it to be very accurate
very quick and was surprised when I was able to get good accuracy from inside
the house.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">The paperless geocaching aspects are fantastic. When
uploading a GPX file you get the description, hint and latest logs. While
you can enter field notes into the unit, I find it too time consuming to turn
the little wheel to find each character. It still records the time and
date of the log entry to make it easy to update online when you get home.
When traveling you can download the field notes onto a laptop and then edit
them using the text mode of just about any word processing program.
Uploading and posting logs is a breeze.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">I have noticed some slowing of the unit when I have more than
2000 caches loaded even on the SD card. I don’t need to have all
those loaded all at once and have found 1000 a happy medium. If I’m
traveling, I have a couple of extra SD cards that I load up with additional cache
databases for the particular city.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">The only con that I have with it is that battery life is very
poor. I have solved this by purchasing 4 sets of rechargeable lithium ion’s.
One option that would be very beneficial is if it would recharge batteries
while plugged into the automotive power cord.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">That’s my $385 worth….. GREAT unit that is
hard on batteries!</span></p>
