    Which handheld GPS

    I have a little money to spend and would like some info on what GPS you guys are using. It will mainly be used for coastal navigation but want to be able to throw it in the truck for the road as well. What are some ya'll using?

    I personally like the Garmin line. The eTrex Summit is great. And has an electronic compass which I find very important. Garmin is really the only ones I have any experience with though. Very easy to use with one hand as well.

    Can find them for around $175.....

    But a good compass goes a long way’s, don’t ever forget that.

      I have a Delorme PN-30. So far its been great. Its the only unit I know of that can use aerial photos. The screen is small but other than that it is an awesome unit. I paid about $260. Unlimited maps for $29.

          I'm still using a Magellan 315 that I bought back 1999.

            I have the 60 CSX and absolutely love it. What I did (and had the luxury of a local shop) was went to Bass Pro, explained what I intended to use it for, and was set up with the best fit.

              I use the ifinder H20 by Lowrance and love it. It uses the same operating system as my eagle depth finder and will except the same cards. makes it real easy going back and forth. Real user friendly too.

                I've been using a Garmin Etrex Legend for about 5 years now without a single hitch. You can get them for less than $100 on ebay.

                  I use the Garmin CSX and find that the accuracy of this unit is better than most. For use in a vehicle I couple it with a Gillson external antenna to get to the 7' accuracy range. We used these units to locate gates and cattle guards for the map of the Texas Shoot Out and the guys testing the collected data and the maps were very satisfied with the results.

                  For collecting points the CSX is tops, in my opinion, for getting to known points, we tested the Garmin Nuvi and found that we could get to where we needed with most any GPS.

                  It then becomes a matter of function, as to whether you need a $300 unit or a $100 GPS.

                    Hand Held

                    I use the Rhino 120 and it's been trustworthy for me ever since I purchased it back in 2003 from Ranger Joe's while I was in OIF I....works just as good now as it did then. They do have newer, in color models now but why would I try to fix something that ain't broke

                      Another vote for the Garmin 60Csx.
