Looking for a GPS
Posted: Feb 19 2009 5:51 pm
Not being familiar with the technology, I have a few questions...
My brother, friend and I are looking at doing a thru-hike of the Arizona Trail, and would like to find a good GPS to take with us.
Looking for something easy to use, doesn't require extensive knowledge of the technological world to use.
Durable? Batteries? I don't think highly of the idea that recharging is necessary. If I can just put in some new batteries and bam its back where I need it, that would be fantastic. Something that isn't 7 Millionnnnnnnnn dollars works for me to. I don't mind having to practice with it, thats better for us anyways, and we plan on doing different hikes and will probably section hike on the trail before we do the real deal anyways.
Any input is great. I've looked at them at REI and some other sites but the lingo and jargon might as well be arabic..

Fortunately I don't have any problems that can't be fixed with a shredded beef taco and some refried beans.
