mapping gps tested in the field?
I am looking for a quality mapping gps with as much features/capabilities for around $250.00? Can anyone provide any personal feedback during their hunting/scouting experiences?
btw: I did use the "search" function but either nobody posts about gps devices in this forum or ....umm yea
Thanks

For mapping - I need a bit more info. I use quite a few Garmin GPS products. Have a couple of sets of Topo maps nationwide to which is easily downloadable to either of the units I use. And ma just getting into taking my area to which I have my tracks on and overlaying it on goodgle earth.
I even run a gps on my hunting dogs.
So look at Garmin closely

I have always used Garmin products as well. Have been looking at the Delorme PN-40 though. with all the maps you get with GPS, it sounds like a much better value. Don't know too much about their quality or functionality though. Anybody know very much about it?

I purchased a PN-20 last year and it worked well. I could mark a tree and return to it in the dark or mark an area on my computer and transfer it to the GPS and find it easily. The topo maps you down load are detailed and acurate.

I like the Garmin best but I am sure others are as good. There are also some free topo maps on GPSFileDepot.com and I publish a free New England topo map (http://www.gameandfishnetwork.com/MapsGPS.html)

I have to agree with the DeLorme PN-20, it is hard to beat the topos that are provided for you. It is used by alot of state police officers as well as fish and wildlife wardens.. So it deffinately can be trusted and quite accurate..
