Well, after a couple days of play with the Garmin, I decided to trade it for the Magellan. I like the access and menu options better. Also it will show most of the cities you are close to. It does seem to have better contact with the sattelites even inside buildings. Alot of times, the garmin would tell me poor coveage inside my house, but haven't had that problem with the Magellan. Plus hunting partner has a Magellan, so I can learn a lot more of the functions without going back to the directions.

I have played with it a lot and if I ever get lost with this thing, I will give up hunting. Not really.

The only other big difference was the Garmin lasted 22 hrs with 4 batteries and the Magellan 15 with 2. It takes the same as my radio, so if I am ever caught short on batteries, I can always steal my radio batteries for the GPS. The Garmin was a little bit bigger/wider and the Magellan only weighs 7 oz. Just my 2 cents worth, and I will take it out to some thick timber to give it a try and let everyone know.

Sorry about the mix-up Moose and Mouse. The is a big difference in the two species but similar spelling. Maybe I am getting old, who knows.

Pup, tell me where you are at so I don't have to get out an atlas, Is it Whelah???

Anyway, thanks for the input, and I will keep you informed.

Later
