Say I was to backpack across the country, not taking taxis or buses to often, and not driving. I’m looking for a handheld GPS device that would offer me something similar to the ‘Around Me’ application on an iphone, but I’m hoping to not have to buy an iphone. What sort of device would you suggest?
I’m taking a road trip soon to a new location and I need a GPS. Can anybody suggest a good one for under 0.
I’m looking for a handheld GPS that I can enter way points, and also one that shows your exact latitude and longitude.
All I really need is a realistic-looking gadget. It needs to display a number showing the distance (in feet/meters/whatever) from the object it is tracking.
My use is for military land navigation.
I just got myself a small boat & plan to use it all around the country (coastal especially). I would be grateful for any suggestions as I don’t know much about them, thanks
I asked this question in another forum, but didn’t get a satisfactory answer. I have checked out Garmin, Lowrance, and Magellan. Lowrance has the Airmap 600C, which is the closest for aviation purposes, and price range, but I couldn’t get any good info for its’ terrestrial use, if it even has any, for that particular model. Could never get through the Lowrance phone line to talk to a customer service rep, after 2 weeks of trying, but was always put on an indefinite automated hold! I also checked out the Garmin 96C. The Lowrance seems to have more for less. As a student GA(general aviation) pilot, I am interested in a handheld unit that would serve me in the air, as well as if I had to ditch in a forrest, or unknown area, etc,and lived to walk my way out! Just trying to find a unit that has the best of both aviation and terrestrial applications. Want to stay within the 300-500 dollar range. Can be flexible within a 100 dollars more if necessary. Any good suggestions?
