    HOw are you getting on with the search Big Foot.
    I echo all what has been said. I picked up a garmin 62sc and it is great. Lets me plan a hunt in and out and lets me see what the lie of the land will be. Well worth the effort and while it may take a little longer to save the $'s very much worth it.
    Sarcasm: lowest from of wit, highest form of intelligence.

    For those of you with Garmins, feel free to download this map: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v5jzqesbv2...NZDEM.img?dl=0

    It's 386MB to download, but it makes topomaps and contours much easier to interpret.

    It's a 3D terrain relief / hillshading map that goes under whatever topomap or streetmap you're running (I prefer MrPurple's Topomap, available from gwprojects.org/forum, or direct from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ub5lqwhwvi...opo50.img?dl=0)
