Well, I gotta ask now.
How many of you guys and gals use GPS's in your fishing treks?
If you do:
What features are necessary, & which are bells and whistles?
How hard are they to learn?
How easy are they to use?
How much does a good, useable one cost?
Anything else one should know?
Curious minds...

Dean,
Have you seen the National Geographics USGS topo maps on CD-ROM?
I have a complete set of CD's for Texas and New Mexico, that enables me to
pinpoint a stream and all its subleties. GPS ready, 1:24,000 scale with
Zoom. Enhanced with 3D Digital shading, and professional resolution photo
quality output. You can use your PC to create and store thousands of
waypoints, routed, and tracks. Has a built-in database that lets you
organize and sort all of your info.
You can get these for any state. (My oldest son gave mine to me for my
birthday last year). Suppose you can get them at Best Buy, Hastings or
Barns & Noble.
I use mine quite often, especially when fishing new rivers in NM
Cheers,
JIMMY
