I use the Garmin GPS 72. It has your basic options, not to fancy, but it gets the job done!

Magellan Sportrak Map here with the travel bundle. An excellent investment in my opinion. Picks up a signal very well...is easy to use.....and pretty darn accurate in 99% of the situations I have been in. Heck, I am programming it for use when I am down in Disney next month. ;)

Garmin Legend. It has been great, it is small, and user friendly.

Garmin E-trex works good for me! I mark every stand I come accross on our lease while I'm scouting. It is a very good tool to have!

My first unit was the Garmin 45. I bought it the first week they were out and found GPS will change the way you hunt! Best thing you can buy for the outdoors. I bought Garmin because they were the only one approved by the FAA for flight use. Not that I fly but I figured if they were the only one good enough for flight use, they were good enough for me. Since then, I've bought a Megellan, a Garmin 2610 for the truck and a Garmin RINO. Hands down, Garmin is the best!

Hi
I've used a Garmin 12Xl for over 7 years. It still works, but I bought
a new 76 (w/o map) at the beginning of the year. Better display,
WAAS, and multiple breadcrumb trails compared to my old unit.

Used the old unit to keep me from getting lost in the mountains.
Fun using the with the TOPO software. DeLorme allows you to
view split screen with digital contour on one side and USGS quad
data or satellite images on the other. Can draw a line on
the screen and download it as a breadcrumb trail to follow.
So far I've been mapping Denver Metro bike trails with mine.

Would love to have the Rino 130s for my son and me, but
that will have to wait for a real job. General use, the Garmin
GPS 76CS, but selling them doesn't bring in enough money for
me to get one now.

Enjoy

I have the Garmin eMap. It’s one of the models with the larger screen and has the capability of downloading additional maps. It’s great for traveling, hunting or fishing.

I have a Magellan Meridian and love it. We use it almost every weekend geocacheing and usually hit dead on to within 10 feet of the cords.
If you haven't tried it go geocaching, we have a 6 and 4 year old and they love the hikes the hunt and the suprises.

Several of my gang are considering the Garmin Rino's I'm looking at the 130 mostly because it features a digital compass and can lock on to the satellites from a stationary position. Anyone out there have any comments on the Rino series??

I use the Garmin etrex venture. I love it. it is very easy to use and waterproof. The batteries last a long time, and you can download maps to it.
