Thread: Hand held gps

Looking at purchasing a gps to offer some assistance in navigation ( use compass also) just wondering what others out there are using, thanks in advance

Garmin are good.

still using an old Garmin 62s, seems to be pretty reliable

Cant go past Garmin. I use 62s and can't fault it.

Garmin eTrex, if you want colour topo maps, the eTrex 20. If just wanting a "camp is that direction", eTrex H (yellow one)

garmin 62s with topo bloody good unit in the bush it will drop signal but no as often as other units

Dont screw round get a garmin rhino - fantasitic kit and doubles as radio. You can also see ya mates position on it also

Never had mine lose signal but then I probably wouldnt notice as I usually turn it on mark start point then throw it in my day bag.

I think I was in the car when it happened so I guess it doesn't count. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to lock onto sat when first starting up but I agree it has never lost signal, even in tight kaimai bush.

Garmin all the way

I got a 62s at the start of the year and having the best hunting season of my life, I have noticed lost signal a couple of times but never for very long and in saying that I get myself into some god forsaken patches of shit
