GPS
« on: May 05, 2005, 02:49:28 pm »

Hi all!  I'm looking at getting a GPS.  I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with these things.  What kind I should get, what features etc.  It'll mostly be used for mapping trails that I find. 

Thanks in advance for any input

My friend has one, I think it's called a 'Garvin'(??) That thing is awesome. I saw that same one at Wal Mart for about $499. It has a color display, it's really nice but if you don't need a color display you could probably get one cheaper.

A Garvin would be my first choice for sure.

Thanks!  I'll go check them out.  $500 is a bit out of my range but maybe I'll go without colour Smiley
