    I don't even have to use my reading glasses as often.

    Cons

    It seems somewhat cheaply made (at the price, not surprising or really negative), so I had to mark it down on durability and reliability ... even though it is working flawlessly. The little extra magnification part could be bigger.

    General Comments

    I love this thing! I carry it all the time, helping these old eyes to see for far more than maps.

    Pros

    - Easy to carry in pocket
    - Provides good lighting.

    Cons

    The frame does not provide spacing so the magnifier does not work while resting on the document (chart or navigational log). It needs to be held at a distance from the chart, which requires both hands.

    General Comments

    I find this product almost useless in a cockpit.

    Not sure how long the batteries that come with the unit will last but so far so good...would order an extra set of batteries if I had it to do over.
