Thread: GPS recommendations

$225 was a mean price to pay for that GPS. I have one exactly the same and your paying about $600 for it new.

Mallagen uses different maps and there are a lot less maps for them.

Don't be tempted by on old cheap model. When they started getting SD cards they gained high sensitivity as well so you can actually use them in the bush.

MP me and I can help a brutha out.

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.

Keeping an eye out on TM, later in the year ill get a bit serious... surely someone will buy a newby for the roar and be flicking their old one off

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)

Does anyone know the major difference between the Garmin 60CSx and the 62?

Any difference with the quality of maps or reception?

Im pretty sure that the 62 had the high sensitivity sensor. And that the 60 doesn't.

I have a Rhino 650 and love it. Touch screen is good and although i had no idea when i brought it i can use it as a normal UHF radio so no need to carry the lil walkie talkies as well. Think i got it for $450 new.

The straight 60 doesnt have the HS reciever, but the 60s & csx and do. I found that out the hard way (anyone wanna buy a garmin 60?) Even the new etrex 10, 20 & 30 do
