    Comments about Garmin Geko 201 GPS - '09 Overstock:

    Nice compact, lightweight GPS. Great for hiking and backpacking. Limited battery life (use lithium batteries). Mine was affected by the Y2K+10 problem; seems to have been corrected by the March 25th 2010 release of version 2.90 of the firmware. Garmin generally rates zero for customer support!
