Which GPS is best?
I want to buy my husband a GPS/ tracking devise for when he goes out sheep hunting. I have no idea where to start.
What do you guys think of the Garmin Rino 520HCx? or the SPOT satellite GPS Messanger? Does anyone have one of these? If there are other good ones out there I'd like to hear about them.
Please help me out with this. I want him to like it and use it.
Thanks so much.

Best one out there! Put bush maps on it and your good to go!!
Batteries last about 10-20hrs "depending on what your doing" and has all the features you will need.

Does the 520HCX send? We use SPOT at work but have seperate handhelds. 60CSX. Check in every 2 hours.

I've been impressed with anything that is Garmin that I've used.

I have owned 3 Garmins now and really liked them all.
I am tossing around the idea right now of getting one of the new touch screen hand helds (probably an Orgeon) and adding the Bushmap card to it.

Heard they are not very good in cold weather Rocky. I put in miles upon miles of roads in this winter with a 60CSX, -32 covered in snow now if I only had Oiltrax. hehehe
I still use a compass though. Deflect roads now for Cariboo.
