[QUOTE="Francis, post: 290353, member: 4290"] I have been very lucky with GPS. I worked with one of the original GPS Govt contract reps. He knew the original inventors of GPS. I spoke with him for hours on the subject. I have alot of insite. I have had numerous GPS devises over the years. Here's the bottom line: Trimble is the grand daddy of them all. Magellan is a close 2nd. Garmin did not do research and development, but has a lot of good user friendly screens. No matter who you use, they are a tool to supplement Mr. map and compass. They can save your life, but don't bet your life on them. They have batteries. Batteries die. Just like anything, the more you practice, the better the tool is when you use it. Supplement your compass with GPS, not the other way around. I just bought 2 old/discontinued Magellans for my kids to learn on. They do not have map on the screens. If your do, then enjoy them. My point is that the old ones work great if you know how to navigate. Don't let the fancy new ones fool you, you have to use a map and practice. [/QUOTE]
