I'm just beginning the search for my first GPS. And I don't know where to begin.
I'm interested in using this GPS for hunting/fishing only. I don't care about driving directions or road/city maps.
My new hunting club has 16,000 (yes, 16 thousand) acres on top of a mountain with a lot of valleys and hills. There are very few roads, so it's very easy to get lost in a hurry. And cell phone coverage is spotty at best.
I want something that I can map out hunting spots. Set waypoints and and record my path as I walk. And to use to get back to my ATV in case I get lost. Basically, I want to create my own maps. And I'd like to be able to save those maps to my PC for storage and printing.
I'm willing to pay for a good, light, handy, reliable, and WATERPROOF unit. But I don't want to pay for a bunch of capabilities I don't need. And I don't want to have to purchase add-on software. I want a unit that comes ready to work. The Garmin units seem to get a lot of praise. Do they have one that will meet my needs?
Thanks.
