I have a Garmin Extrex,which I had for many years. I use it for my Landing Coords for my Vol. Fire Dept,Geocaching and of course plotting waypoints for my Hiikes.
I do use my gps alot and sometimes relie on it too much. I should know better due to interference of clouds,trees,hills,valleys and such,so I have missed many points of interest or trail junction when I was reading the gps unit.
I should use my compass and maps more and only use the gps as a reference tool as it is intended to be used for.
I am not knocking uses of GPS units but You should know how to use the compass and read the maps well. It should help you get where you are going and by the way. You won’t need to replace the batteries.
Hello friends, congratulations by blog.
I recommend you that at the time of buying a GPS you buy one of quality and not any cheap thing that you that way see, to my I go that with blueetoh and in the end I had it to change by one good one, now I have a GPS that is of the best and the updates are most comfortable to do, if it interests and you are looking for a GPS to you I recommend one to you like mine, I give the connection you so that you prune it to compare with others.
