What is the difference between the 1.7gb and the 3.5gb? price is $100 different and I want to know if it is worth the money. uses geocache and hiking

The 3.5 GB version comes with pre-loaded topo maps (hence the 62ST designation vice 62S). Not worth the extra money in my book, as you can download free (and probably better quality, though I haven't done any comparison myself) topo maps from various sites. Just google "free topo garmin maps" and you'll find them. I have the 62S (non-topo) and love it. It works great for geocaching; get a microSD card while you're at it, and you'll significantly boost that 1.7 GB. If you load topo maps, I recommend putting them on the device rather than on the card as they'll load more quickly. Hope that helps!

"One of the posters claimed that this would cost 500+ dollars. I would think that the hard drive version could actually be cheaper."I think you should learn how to read. He means that if you want a 80GB+ device in the same size you will have to use flash and flash is expensive.

not sure i understand why the 920 blows away the 370. Why are they about the same price on amazon? besides the maps each supports are there any other key differences? I want to know which is more user friendly and which maps are more accurate. I'm moving to Europe (Switzerland) and want to know which would be best for what I'm buying it for (getting from point A to B with as little stress as possible.)

I like this feature on the Magellan eXplorist GC. I bought the 110 because I thought it was a step up from the GC, but I prefer the GC over the 110 for Geocaching! You can do what Paul Salvagin said ( I believe it's under "Edit Nav. Fields"). I also just use the Zoom In Tab, which makes the arrow fairly accurate when you get to GZ. Make sure that your auto zoom is OFF (check "Map Options").

I would save the $100 and buy the 30GB model. Spend the saved $$ on some decent headphones! I have about 2300 songs on my 30GB and have only used about 10GB so far. I also have several hundred photos loaded on it. The camera connector is awesome for traveling.

You need to buy a card and a much bigger one if you don't want to be constantly deleting stuff. I would consider 16gb the minimum. I have a 32gb class 10 GSkill that seems really fast for video and burst modes, but the same size Patriot and Mushkin class 10 cards are much slower and make the camera seem unresponsive. I even had to RMA the PAtriot one it was so slow, but the new one is acceptable. I got the GSkill on sale for $9.99, just watch New egg, they go on sale all the time. The faster the card the better. I will try a SanDisk Extreme when the price comes down.

Installation and use are very straight forward and easy to use. We used ours on a 6 week road trip to Alaska and back.Just noticed other respondents reply about memory SD card. I would advice the largest SD card that it is capable of using. If you intend to use on road trips, get TWO so you can switch out while on the road.

Wait a minute, my 1GB Nano only has 892MB on it. Reading this, I now feel cheated somehow. (Although I still love it).

I just popped into my Note 3. Recognized and working. It's actually magic, though. I don't think it really does anything. I mean, really, think about it. 64 GIGA-bytes on a sliver of something smaller than and same thickness as my thumbnail?!!! My first computer had 100 MB storage and I thought I was in fat city. Back then 1 GB cost $1000 IF you could even get it. I know a little about how such things are made and I just cannot believe modern tech. It is insane. If I sneezed during install (2 second job), I would have lost the thing in the carpet, perhaps never to be found.

Yes, it realy is 500GB. It is this capacity because it uses that extra space for additional wear leveling. This is known as over provisioning. The extra space needed for over provisioning on this drive is necessary because it is triple level cell technology. Because of this, the flash actually has less endurance than the generation before it. With the proper wear leveling though, this is compensated for, and the drive is designed to last for quite some time. If you are a heavy user (meaning professional video editing, or any other use case where you are writing more than 10GB a day everyday), you should get the pro line anyway, as that is still multi level cell, and has greater endurance. But if you do that kind of heavy work, you should probably be getting an enterprise grade drive anyway with single level cell technology. So yes, this drive is genuine and it is fantastic. It is actually close to one of the fastest drives on the market, and the only that I know of that is optimized for larger capacities. Most other brands (particularly LSISandforce drives) are designed to be fastest at ~256GB, so if you want a large drive that doesn't suffer because of it's size, this is it. Edit: BTW, there are some non-insightful posts below claiming this is because it is what you get after formatting. Know that formatting will always use some of the storage and you will end up with slightly less. But in this case, it will be actually lower than the 500GB as 500GB is what it would be raw, not after formatting. My 250GB Sansung 840 came out to about 233GB. This is also partially because, for whatever reason, the solid state world measures in Gibibytes (GiB) or 1000MiB, while the rest of the storage/computer world (except for the silly apple world) measures in Gigabytes(GB) of 1024MB.

Hi K. Ness, I just bought the S10 3t 2 days ago in Seattle Fry's for $499. Since then I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium (a must if you want to truly enjoy the multi-touch features) and now looking to upgrade to 2G RAM (less of a must as the netbook is performing really well already but I'm used to laptops and using MS Office so I want the extra speed). Regarding the GPS and WiMax that's the bit I'm struggling with at the moment. I keep reading various take on wether it is included or not. Same with Bluetooth. None seems to be working for me despite finding all the drivers on the web (drivers which are meant to be for the S10-3T which is the unit I have in my hands - btw typing this reply with it at the moment). There's also a slot for a 3G Sim Card which I have inserted but no luck there either. Probably because this is such a new product there's still no support page on Lenovo support website. So to summarise this is a great netbook/tablet PC (nice capacitive touch screen, large keyboard, decent performance) but I would have liked to see more out of the box support and documentation. Does it have GPS, WiMax, Bluetooth, 3G support ? I'm frustrated to say "I don't know" despite having the device in my own hands. So Lenovo I suggest you formally and clearly document what's in and what's not. One last thing the speakers are pretty poor compare to the iPhone's which has less physical space. But overall still a great piece of technology for the price as you get the best of both world (a netbook and a slate) and I highly recommend it.

I tried a 64gb sandisk extreme on it and it created lots of 'dead' files, so I used an old 32gb laying around. no probs with 32. I loved the video quality so gave to my husband for his minivan, and got myself a DOD TECH LS460W (via Amazon) no probs using the 64gb card. I think with 460w you can even use the 128. time is atomic, and it has gps, and speed data.

If Carbonite is working for you I'd say stick with it. Having offsite backup is a good idea since it's unaffected should you have a house fire, flood, etc. As I said my review, I have serious issues with the speed of this drive. Backing up 1GB of data took well over an hour. By comparison, I was able to download the 4GB Mountain Lion update in just about an hour, on the same network, and both via wifi. Other reviewers have mentioned speed issues as well, so if you are concerned about possible problems I'd say that's the biggest possible one.

Yeah, Amazon's got this info really messed up...I can't figure out what the difference is between this model and one $40 cheaper, as apparently they're both Atoms with 2GB and 64GB storage. The price difference would make sense if one of them had more storage (or SOMETHING), but I can't figure out what the difference is.

Markus Twain, There is no attempt to mislead customers. The 1GB reference in the lower section is a typo, which will be corrected, nothing more. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!

This unit works great for Geocaching. I purchased mine to Geocache. It has works well for me.

I did a lot of research on that before purchasing and found out that the 500GB runs at 7200 RPM while the 1GB runs at 5400RPM.Hope that helps!
