GPS
I'm looking to buy a decent GPS to use when I Jeep in the Anza Borrego
Desert. We cut over from S22 near Salton Sea got kinda lost on our journy to Ocotillo Wells. Can anyone recommend a decent GPS that is not too expensive? Thanks Hal |
Re: GPS
I have a Garmin EMap unit that works nice.
It can load all types of maps into a memory stick and comes stock with a nice North American map in it. I haven't needed anything more than the stock map because it has all the main highways on it and lakes and rivers so I can just fire it up and it shows me where I am in relation to known landmarks like the roads and water and what direction I am heading. Then it gives me the lat and long too, but I haven't ever needed that. I got it for xmas a couple years ago and don't think it was too expensive.

Re: GPS
Garmin eTrex Legend are around $200. I have an older Garmin that I have
really liked, I would buy another Gamin in a minute. Also $200 will buy a great GPS no matter what brand. Even the basic GPS will be as accurate as an expensive one. What you really pay for is the ability for it to hold mapping software. But one feature that I don't have that I would really like is a built in electronic compass, I end up carrying a compass with me anyways.
