What do you use for a GPS

I'm in the market for a new GPS, I've been using a older Garmin rhino 120 for the last few years and decided I need to upgrade. The big problem is I'm what you would call technologically challenged, the big reason it took me so long to join the site ](*,) What do you all use?

I use the GPSmap 60 csx from garmin, and I love it. The don't make this exact model anymore. They upgraded it and now its the GPSmap 62. I can tell you that any modern GPS is going to have a slight learning curve to it but once you learn how to mark your waypoints and download your data, they are priceless. Typically, I will plot an area that I want to scout / hunt from satellite images. I will take the coordinates from an area I want to get into and input them into my GPS. Then I navigate using those coordinates into the area. I feel safer and like I know an area really well this way because I have viewed the satellite imagery. I will know in what direction certain landmarks are based on what I saw on the images. Some modern GPS units from Garmin even have a feature called "birdseye" and basically it will show you the satellite image right on your GPS while in the field. That is what I want next in a GPS.

I too use the Rino 120. Love it. I think it's cool that I can send a location from my radio to another or vice versa. Works great for spot and stalk situations where stealth is key. GPS plus 2-way in one convenient package. Keep what ya got, IMO.

I had an old E-Trex Legend for years. Last fall I bought a Garmin GPS Map 62S and love it. I ordered a micro SD card of Colorado for it and used the heck out of it elk hunting. The new chip has the unit boundries,GMU land & Private land boundries. Like I said,I gave it a good working out and was very happy with both pieces.

That sounds great, what did it set you back chip and all? Also where did you find your chip? I have looked online but got tired of reading specs.

I picked up the 62S at Gander Mountain on sale for $360.00 before tx last Aug. They are hanging right around $400.00 now I believe.
http://www.huntinggpsmaps.com/states/coloradodownloads.html Is where I got the mini SD card for Colorado. There are other western states available also. Under $100.00 for any of several models.

I bought the Garmin Oregon 450 (not the 450T) last year and absolutely love it. It was very easy to setup and use and has more functions than I know what to do with. The maps are a bit pricey for it but well worth it IMO.
