Handheld GPS Unit
 

I am in the market for a new GPS. I want to be able to hook to my pc and upload to google earth and manage my points and tracks. I don't have a phd in GPS and I am not looking to get one. I like the Magellan Triton 400 but, I am not sure if it will upload to Google Earth. Is anyone familiar with this unit or is there one that you would recommend?

I will be using this for hunting (various states), and managing my hunting club as far as property lines, hunting stands, points of interest's, etc....

Thanks

I believe one of the best ones out now are these: http://www.delorme.com//about/reviews/PN20_GPSReview.htm


I'll be getting one of these before spring!

I've always liked Garmins over Magellans for ease of use. Unfortunately, they quit making the old 12XL that served me so well a few years ago - including a year-long vacation in Mesopotamia. The eTrex I replaced it with doesn't have NEAR the antenna and is continually losing sight of the sky. They're both pretty easy to use, though I have no idea whether the eTrex willtake a Google Earth download.

Go try a few different brands out at the store, though. See which ones will meet your selection criteria (Google Earth download) and are the easiest to use. Next, make sure you have a topo map and good lensatic compass as backup - and carry extra batteries.

I've decided to go with the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx. It was a little more than I was wanting to spend but, it has everything that I was looking for. Thanks for your help.
