Hand held gps preferences??

[wilnis]

Hi-anyone use a hand held GPS-for hiking, horseback riding, geocaching, etc? We've used a Garmin 10 for some years but are looking to "upgrade" and wonder which ones others may have found useful. Thanks, Bill

Have out checked out any phone app? Seems that's what most are using now for driving. Probably near worthless if way off road but may load with maps before loosing cell tower as I have to do for drones.

Hi-did not check phone app as we ride horses well off beaten track. I like the garmin's ability to document trails so we can take them again until we learn them. Thanks. Bill

Paper road map for me! I can even fold them back up.

Just three weeks ago, three men on camels followed the brightest star, safely to their destination.

I have a Garmin that I love, it is the Oregon or something it works great it has the magnetic compass built in.

My eTrex was bad before it as it was very new, it had a hard time figuring out your course and took long to update your map so it was not easy to use.

I got free maps loaded on micro sd card they work great:

Orux Maps on my phone/tablet. You can make your own maps, download road maps or maps that other users have made, etc.
