0 Guest Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Garmin makes a good selection of GPS's. I have the Garmin 12 GPS which works great and you can get it for around $150. They also have the new e-Trex that have more options but will cost around $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 garmin is the best in gps navigation. i have the 12XL nice system but spendy around 200. if price is an issue walmart carries a lil garmin for around 100 its also a model of the etrex and is easy to use. if its just for hunting and fishing thats all you really need. i got my 12XL to use in forestry also. it just has more funtions. but for you if its just recreational go with the etrex for 100. i've used it and like it for the simplicity.

0 Big-Al Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I agree with your choice of Garmin.Be careful on what you spend on HSOList. For a 12 if you look you can get them for $135. Check Reed's in Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
