Thread: Garmin handheld GPS units - need help

you just need to decide which bells and whistles are most important to you as they will all do the job,,,
ie: do you need communication with others , or tracking , or a camera , do you hunt the thick stuff or only the open tops, some have a compass that always works others only when your on the move. and check the battery life and weight.
i have an alpha cos i track my dog if i didnt have a dog i wouldnt. i had a oregon with a camera but that really chewed the batteries (but lucky it took standard AAs which is another thing to consider) i know a guy , him and his mates all bought the rhinos cos the have a big roar hunt together so decided that was the best option.you might find a rhino weighs more than a walkie plus an etrex unit which fits better in a pocket.......
you can go around in circles forever trying to figure out the best unit for you in the end when you hand over the cash you get a unit that will do what its intended for (gps self location) with the bells and whistle you decide are most important to you
