I have a full-size chart plotter and radar on my 41 foot ketch. The 400c is a backup unit that is handy to use to check distances and points of interest without changing the displays on the full-size unit. from Amazon.com Having 15 years of using Garmin products, they clearly missed the mark with this one. The screen is useless when attempting to use outside in the sunlight. from Amazon.com I was disappointed when I read the reviews and they said it couldn't use an external power supply, but I attached the power plug from my Garmin Nuvi (mini-usb to car lighter) and it works fine off external power supply. Even removed the batteries to make sure it was only drawing from the external. from Amazon.com Hope my 5 star rating remains after I test it thoroughly. In the mean time, one previous reviewer said don't use rechargeable batteries in this unit. He suggested checking Garmin's website for details. This is what I found on their website. from Amazon.com A must for every yachtsman. Simple single handed operation, large bright screen and packed full of features. Garmin has produced a serious instrument at a reasonable cost. That said, nothing is perfect and the one thing the engineers left out was the ability to connect it to a DC power supply. from Amazon.com I had a Garmin 76CS for three years. I replaced it with this model. from Amazon.com GARMIN COLORADO 400C HANDHELD GPS WITH BLUECHART G2 LOADED from Amazon.com I was dissapointed in the manual. It's pretty useless and does not provide any information for actually putting the device to use. I was really dissapointed in the fact that you can't use the scrolling device to plot multiple waypoints. Each time you plot a way point the unit automatically jumps back to the current location so you have to zoom out and start over again to put in another way point. from Amazon.com I just bought the Colorado 400c for use in marine navigation. The chart information and graphics are great but the device operates in a bizarre fashion. from Amazon.com I'm a US Coast Guard licensed Captain and do, among other things, delivery work. I've tried several of the other charting GPS units recently to upgrade my 1995 era technology Garmin GPS's. from Amazon.com
