Thread: GPS, Garmin vs Magellan

Yeah, bout right. They start to "curl up" on the edges etc and eventually its time to replace.

4 months is ok on a phone, I guess. But you're using that item every day, unlike a GPS.

Yeah that is true.

Of course you could go for the new(ish) Rino model:

Generally Garmin maps are expensive - map toaster etc work out better - or the free stuff available -

Went with the 62s. Thanks for those links though Stu. I'm no pro hunter and am really just after it for finding where I am at any given time at this stage.

Thanks for coming to the party Fairgame and matching DSE price. Much rather my money stay floating round this country.

Good choice Nibblet

You wont be dissapionted they are a gret unit .... just dont let mum get her hands on it

Then she'll see where you have "Actually" been

I used the "Sight and Go" feature lots ... makes finding your deer easy as.

Shes alright, gets to go to Melbourne to do some shopping soon so I get my free rain.
Any specific batteries you would recommend to use in this unit over others?
