Have you used it for hunting? If so, how helpful was it?
It's awesome for hunting. Whenever you see something worth noting you just mark the spot with the push of a buttom. When you get home you upload the file to your computer and you can map everything out, even view the whole picture in Google maps. Your marks coupled with topo maps and you'll have a much better idea of how the wildlife is utilizing the land. I hunt a lot of Wildlife management areas, when I go to a new area I'll drive all of the drivable roads. I'll stop anywhere that looks interesting and take short walks. At home I upload the track that I made that day;I'll study what I found and where everything lays on the topo map. That leads to more detailed scouting trips and by the beginning of hunting season I'll have a much better idea of how I'm going to hunt. We also have a bunch of WMA's that are only open for scouting the day before the season opens, if you pull a permit for one of these areas you better have a way to help you do some crash scouting.
