Handheld GPS units....Trying to choose

Post by **MuskieWannabe** » Wed Aug 18, 2004 11:23 am

I'm looking at getting a handheld GPS unit for fishing and for going out into the bush. Thinking about a Magellan but they honestly all look the same to me. All I want is to be able to download the water maps (navigational depths for Ottawa River, Rideau, etc.) and use it when I'm in the bush four-wheeling. Any thoughts or advice?

I don't have tons of cash to spend but I have seen quite a few in the $200-$250 range (before the charts cd).

Thanks for any help,

I think your dad would rather you fix that motorbike in the garage and get it outta there.

However, if you are still going to get a gps the Garmin series are very nice and available at crappy tire and such. They come on sale, there is a model that also holds the fish / game lunar tables.

The other option is that you buy some Rino or Rhino (I think by Garmin) that are radios at the same time.
