This device is likely to work in Curacao, however, I do not have enough experience to know if it will work properly for search and rescue...

I have used Garmin GPS units of several types, in the car and hand held, in the USA. I haven't taken them out of the states, but they are very dependable and never given me any reason to doubt their accuracy. You can buy them with maps for any country. Just make sure you get it loaded with the map you need and you will have a great GPS.

GPS works everywhere. I think I saw a map that includes Curacao. You can buy maps of just about everywhere after-market and install them quite easily. You can also create custom maps from Google Earth (or wherever you can get a Jpeg image). The custom maps can be over-laid on the on the general map. For example, if the Curacao map you buy and install does not have some detail you want, you can overlay the detail.I hope this answers your question.

I found a GARMIN GPS III PLUS (can be found on AMAZON usually used but sometimes someone has a new one) to be perfect on my quad. It provides features not found in combination on any GPS currently in production that I have found. I won't go thru all the features here as there are so many, but for me, it provides everything I could want in exploring remote areas of AZ except a gas gauge for the quad! Mine is clamped to the handlebars and runs off vehicle power so no battery life problems. Check one out and save yourself a lot of money while getting the capabilities a new one can't provide.

Battery life is short. I think Gps is a big drain on it. But a spare can be purchase at a cheap price from a off brand distributor.

Hello, My experience with the GPSMAP 62 was not very good. The unit froze up several times during use and each time I had to restart the unit. Coworkers of mine use the GPSMAP 60 and really like it and I have heard the GPSMAP 64 is a good model. I recently purchased a Garmin Etrex 30 and I love it. I paid $200 and it's worth every penny. The new GLONASS technology in the etrex 30 is outstanding, I can be in the thickest timber canopy and still have &gt;20' accuracy. I hope this helps.

mine would not work, had to send it back. i am in europe now and would recommend you get a different brand. its not a very good gps. all the maps are outdated. sorry, wish i would have bought something else. when i sent mine back it took a couple of weeks and they sent a refurbished unit. bad news...

I have a Garmin system and it accepted the card with no problem. However, the resultant navigation is barely adequate, especially in the congested city of Quito where it is almost useless. In the remote areas it does not show the trails or secondary roads very well. However, bottom line is that it provides some utility. Most folks who are posted here use an application on their cell phones which works superbly. But, I do not have the Cadillac cell phone plan so I have to rely on the GPS and old school paper maps combined which is okay for me.

Remember, it is nothing like a Garmin at all. It is a basic GPS unit to get you from point a to point b. It does not route motorcycle specific routes, the screen is difficult to see. I would only buy it if you really need some type of gps unit to get you around. I you really want a nice motorcycle specific GPS, I would save up your money and buy the Garmin. Sometimes you can get a refurbished one and sometimes you can even buy an extended warranty for them.

Inside, a gps works shotty at best, this unit is no different. You could give it a try but the unit is supposed to have a view of the sky. Another problem you will find is the range, the directions say 200' away at a minimum and I have found that to be true.

It works really fine in any condition, easily over a mile for sure. Once i turned it off at my beach house and turned on in my house, it was showing my dog at 110 miles away. It goes pretty well on water, attention with the connectors, they are easily removal, so i lost a pair after long day hunting with out adjusting it. The terrain is well designed even without maps, i live in Brazil and it works fine without the need of buying maps.

I agree-have been in the market for a new GPS for awhile now. Really do not need one [my Garmin 350 still does the job]. I like some of the newer features on the 1300 series-see such mixed reviews!! Model numbers should be mandatory when submitting a review so the customer can differentiate between units.

I am considering the same thing. I bought the TomTom and have not been able to get it working - the operating software seems to have only partially loaded. I spent 3 hours on the phone with their customer service - very nice people, but they have no technical knowledge, they can only read to you from a script. I think I am going to return this one and give the Garmin a try.

I didn't buy a GPS yet. Maybe I'll ask Santa for one. I think I would buy the 265w.The refurb. price is right, around $90.00 . The reviews are 4+ stars. Ckt. City hada new one for $90. ,plus postage I think. I was hoping Consumer Report would havean updated report on Gps's in Dec., but none. I don't know what a 765 even sellsfor. I don't drive much anyway. But, I think I would use it. Thanks for asking.

Magellan Maestro 4250 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished) My comments are covered in those posted. Selling a GPS with outdate maps is unacceptable. Also, I don't find it intutive at all. I need to carry a copy of the manual with me to get it to do what i want. My TOMTOM program running on my palm was far better but they quit supporting map upgrades so I purchased the Maestro. I don't recommend it.

It has a world wide base but not really good for navigation. Need to check with Garmin on the purchase of navigation software.

I had no luck with the Magellan from the start, the maps wouldn't load, etc......I bought a Garmin and am pleased with the performance. I'm sorry I can't help more.

Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful. Also, please consider if you find the gps is not satisfactory, return the unit to Amazon or go ahead and buy it from a local Walmart for a bit higher cost, try it out and see what happens. BTW, I only need to charge my unit once each week and the provided test to check the unit works quite well. I like mine and the only negative in the experience is that in 5 Star advertisement, they really should note that a monthly tax will be added just like any telephone system. Mine adds about $3.Harry Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful.
