800's touch screen stopped working on bottom right corner. Wonder if that happened the last time I dropped it?
Seriously, the features I use on a GPS are pretty limited, and the Explore 2 does them all. The screen isn't as big as the 100X series, and the Explore 2 may be slightly less sensitive to raindrops or sweat. IME the Explore pretty much duplicates the 800 at the same price (10 years later on). I miss the removable memory chip (just in case the unit goes kaput and/or the software needs to be refreshed from factory original). Bottom line, only you can prevent forest fires. Or tell if a GPS has the feature(s) you want.
