    Hi Ade,

    I got a brand new one fairly recently for a few quid off
    eBay. It looks and feels great... As for performance, I
    haven't really tested it totally, but I'm off for a trip
    this weekend, so I'll compare it to my dad's GPS while were
    out. The compass is accurate, which is not really surprising
    (!), and the barometer is also very accurate (when compared
    to a calibrated barometer at work it has been exactly the
    same on each occasion). The thermometer reads anywhere
    between 2 and 6 degrees C too high. I haven't tested the
    altimeter properly, but in simple tests I've done it hasn't
    drifted much. I'll report back once I've given it a proper
    run out in the dales and the lakes this weekend.

    Michael
