PAbowhunter86 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I am thinking about buying a gps unit. At dicks and gander mountain they have the etrax legend gps bundle. It includes US topographical software, car adapter, car mount, instructional video, and carry case. For $179.98 I think this is a good deal. Any comments?

rossman Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: GPS units??? I would invest a little more money into a better GPS unit. Especially if you do alot of backcountry hunting. I bought a Garmin Rhino two years ago, and it works flawlessly. I forget the model number but it cost me about $500. We do alot of backcountry hunting in CO, so I wanted to get the best I could afford at the time. Remember, you get what you pay for. If your lost in the wilderness and your GPS craps out, your done!!!!! Alot of cheep GPS units lose satellite communication easily and are not made as well as top of the line brands. But if your using it in a rural or suburbian setting, the that one may be ok. --rossman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtBowhunter Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: GPS units??? If you're not worried about the radio feature of the Rhino then the Garmin Etrex Vista is a sure winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Re: GPS units??? The Garmin Etrex Vista is $249 at Dicks and comes with software and a car charger and also a $30 mail in rebate. Wish I had the extra change, I would buy one of these myself. I would love to have a GPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
