I need a low priced, something like a magellan 310 or 315 gps, that would work for hunting in wilderness areas and timbered breaks. If anyone has any used, I would take them too. Any help would be really appreciated...

My wife and I both have the Garmin 12. We have used them for several years for elk hunting. I can lock onto satelites even in a heavy timbered area. I only use it to get a direction to a wallow or ??????. I get the bearing and distance and turm it off. I hunt for 30 days in a row and only use one set od batteries. This model can save 500 way points. They have worked with out a glitch for me. Hope this helps. Mark

I have six hunting partners . . . we all have Magellan 315' s and are well pleased. Occasionally there are a few holes in the boonies where we hunt that wack out any gps unit. But I just switch to compass mode and keep going. The area where we hunt is often used for Naval Tactical Warfar practice and sometimes the Navy screws things up. But we always make it back.

You can' t find much thicker heavier timbered forests than we have in the Cascades. We are all very well pleased.
