About 50% larger display, colour, almost doubled battery time compared to Etrex series (with the same weight). One drawback is that is significantly larger - 1.7" longer and slighty wider and thicker than Etrexes. Not sure if this includes antenna (which protrudes quite a bit too). Might not fit into some pockets. Waterproofness (Re: Garmin Map 12): battery compartment has always been the weakest spot, though in mappable Etrexes it is watreproof enough for a short dip. This will sure deteriorate after a few seasons.
