Subject: Re: [Texascavers] GPS recommendation?
I've owned many GPS units. I think my all-time favorite was the original
grey Garmin eTrex Vista. Unfortunately I broke it during a trip to China.
Lately I've using a Garmin Oregon. It's a few years old now. I'm not
terribly impressed with the color and touch display. It always seems washed
out in daylight and I keep having to re-calibrate the screen.
I can't think of any particular reason to prefer one GPS brand or another in
Mexico. I guess the deciding factor might be the quality and detail of any
built-in maps for the areas you plan to be in.

I’ve decided it’s finally time to abandon my luddite ways and join the GPS
generation. Any recommendations on the best model for a caver/backpacker/river
runner to buy? And is any particular model or brand better for use in Mexico?
Thanks,
Frank
