RE: GPS questions
I have a Lowrance Expedition with Mapcreate 7.0. Very easy to use, have it in my truck at all times. nice to have. They do make some now that have a walkie talkie included and will show your buddies where you are on their unit it hunting together. Lot's of great stuff out there. Pretty soon the new ones with fold out into a quiet ATV and turn into a pen you can put in your coat pocket at the end of the day, lol.
Reminds me of a story. I recently went to Japan and I bought a new wallet over there. It is made of elephant foreskin. All you have to do is rub it and it turns into a whole set of luggage!
Good Luck and have fun.
