I used it on my sheep hunt this year it works great the texting works fine just takes a long time. I was disappointed in the satelite imagery for canada there really isnt much unless you are near the more populated areas. But as for a gps it works good

That is the only problem with the Pn-60W,the mapping available for Canada is nowhere near as good as what they have available in the States.I used mine in Montana with the 1:24000 BLM maps,in Canada the best you can get is 1:50,000 Government topos.Other wise it is a 1st class unit,but if mine hadn't been a gift I would have bought Garmin.
