I have owned a "20" for quite a while and subjectively the accuracy seems
better than the hcx I had before. Not sure if that is due to the glonass
support or just a more modern chipset. The interface hasn't improved much,
if at all.  I preferred the cycling of pages on the older models to the
back button used on the new ones. My hcx bike mount had an irritating
rattle which the new one doesn't have so I guess that is an improvement.
