The Dakota 20 is a top performer

Garmin products are truly superior to other GPS units. I own both TomTom and Magellan GPS, in addition to 2 Garmin units, and I have found that I simply no longer use the non-Garmin units. The main advantage is the better user interface and display. Often times, a GPS can tend to be very busy or confusing to operate. The Garmin menus are easy to understand and navigate (even on the fly) I use mine for both car and bike. The mode options are fabulous and my friends all agree that the Dakota is better than any other bike computer, and the fact that it is also a fully functional GPS adds a safety factor when I end up in unfamiliar country. Also, the workmanship and product durability are absolutely solid. For numerous reasons, you can't go wrong with the Dakota 20.

Great low cost handheld GPS with lots of features and small size.

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

Purchased for use while flying ultralight aircraft, needed barometric altimeter that can be zeroed for altitude display. Overall it has all the customizable features I needed, you can customize the trip and navigation screens to show any of the data fields available in the unit in both large and small formats, perfect for my dashboard while flying. Small and easily mounted with optional mounts and simple to navigate various screens. My only disappointment is the brightness of the display in dim light conditions, the transreflective display is great in sunlight, but in near dusk conditions, it is difficult to see until it is dark enough that the backlighting shows up. Since I fly only during bright daylight this is not an issue for me. I also subscribed to Garmin Bridseye satellite imaging that works nicely on this unit showing you actual ground photo quality images of the terrain of the areas you download to it, this subscription is only $30/year.

Dakota 20

Just got into Geocaching and originally had a GPS that wasn't touchscreen and hard to see in the sunlight. After reading the reviews for the Dakota 20, decided this was the product for me. There are several features I like, especially the touch screen and it is easy to read even in bright sunlight. Also like the built-in compass which wasn't on the other GPS. However, there have been some problems--specifically getting it downloaded with the paperless Geocaches. After numerous phone calls to Garmin and a technician at Geocaching.com, we finally figured out how to get the Geocaches into the unit with details and hints. Found out when I talked to Garmin that the unit needed updated software, which they instructed me on how to download. Not sure why the unit had old software (maybe it had been on a shelf for a long time). But, anyway it is up and running now and looking forward to doing some Geocaching.

Garmin Dakota 20

Bought it for south america trip

Like: User friendly, good integration with the (good) compass
ruuged, reasonable day time display, expandable storage

Dislike: night time display, no easy battery recharge, very partial coverage of south america, birds eye loading needs much improvement, high cost maps.
Undefined maximum storage, cannot pass maps between my two garmins

Will buy the product again

Garmin Dakota 20 GPS

I have a Delorme PN-20 that proved nearly useless. The Dakota 20 is great, easy to use, good battery life and a lot of features. It comes with a basemap only but I found excellent Topo maps free online as well as a trail map overlay for my area in Colorado. Works well as a car navigator in a pinch as well. The processor is quick, satellite acquisition fast and the menus easy. The ability to overlay maps would be helpful but changing maps is a cinch.
