Anybody hunt and use their PN-20?

Hey Everybody, I am new to the forum so this might have already been discussed, sorry if it has. I am looking between these two for getting a gps, either a Garmin Legend HCx, Vista HCx, or 60Csx or the Delorme PN-20. I am wondering what the pro's and con's are of these units and hopefully I can get input from people that have them. Which has the better topos and mapping software, which is better at getting satellite signal in thick cover, anything like that. Any tips, info, or opinions would be appreciated. Thank you. Ryan

Not sure if anyone can help me here but its worth a shot. I recently got a gps, a ifinder hunter c from lowrance and I am not sure if this is what I want. I had been looking for a while at a garmin and just recently I had heard about delorme. I am brand new to this and have never used a gps so I will be learning as I go. Here is what I would be using it for: 1. Mostly hunting and fishing, so I want to have topo maps and any other type of maps that would be helpful. Mainly I want to find features when hunting as well as older roads, such as logging roads and things like that. With fishing I would like to find depths and if possible various structures. 2. I would be using it in my truck for navigating on trips but this isn't a huge deal. I have read that you have to buy map chips for your gps separate, so what is the best brand of topo maps as well as navigation maps? Since this is my first gps and I will not be buying one for a while, I would like to get the best buy for my money. The ones I have considered are the Garmin Legend HCX or the Delorme pn-20 or should I stick withe the ifinder Hunter C. Any tips or info anyone can give would be much appreciated. Thank you. Ryan
