Default RE: GPS: Garmin vs. Lowrance

I use a Garmin eTrex Vista C, it is not too hard to operate the basic functions and theres plenty of memory. You will need to purchase the MapSource Topo for hunting, it has everything down to trails in almost every area in the US. Also for traveling the Mapsource MetroGuide is very handy, it has every street in the US as well as buisnesses and landmarks. Very simple to use, just do a search on an address and it will either guide you there or show map of route, your choice.

Your maps and waypoints can be saved by uploading onto your PC, then reload then next time you need it. Thus not using up all your memory trying to save everything on the GPS.


hope this helps......I researched for a while before purchasing and Im not sorry about my choice.

also, purchase some lithium batteries, they last much much longer than alkaline.............
