Five Seasons Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Just a heads up, Cabelas has a garmin 62st for $229 free shipping online and bass pro even cheaper in store only with some added accessories. I just ordered one to help me scout stateland. Comes with the topo maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Nice , i was just thinking i should get my dad a gps for chritsmas to replace the old magellon that beeps constantly and he is deaf to that particular tone. True story , we were walking to our stands and it was going off and at first i thought he was joking ,eventually i said "are you gonna turn that f!@king thing off ?" He turned and asked as serious as could be " turn what off" Thanks for the heads up ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkln Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I think I'm done with that multiple device stuff, your phone can do pretty much the same thing if you set it right. Even if you don't have a "phone" signal and you have GPS chip (most phones do these days) it still works, just pre-load maps before hand. Get rid of that old ABBA and Lynyrd Skynyrd music on your phone and make some room for maps :-) You will never got lost again.... My 2 cents... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Seasons Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 The battery sucks on my iPhone and I guess I'm not familiar with an app that has topo maps and works well with poor cell reception. I'm about as techy as it gets but there are too many variables with a phone to trust it when hiking in a 500k acre national forest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish_redneck Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Backcountry navigator works well, but dedicated GPS is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
