Choosing a GPS

[FloridaBassGirl]

I am thinking of buying a hand held GPS for my fishing buddy in the near future.... Nothing extravagant, but I DO want to get a one that preforms well and has a decent price tag. Any suggestions anyone?

The Lowrance Ifinder series get excellent reviews and are fairly cheap.

I myself have a Garmin 60csx. A nice unit also, kind of high priced when compared to the ifinder series and it does burn through batteries every 8-9 hours.

I have the garmin 60cs. It has alot of great features that I use for boating and Atving. But like Jim said they are pricey. Maybe look at the garmin etrex. Not to expensive.

I have a Garmin eTrex Venture HC. It does everything that I need it to like marking drops and brushpiles.

The base maps are really lacking but if all that you want it for is marking waypoints and tracks to find later, it works really well.

Ive got a garmin etrex vista.Bought used off ebay. Nice unit for the money,nothing fancy but works good for what I use it for.
