Purchase advise needed


Recommended Posts

I am looking into purchasing 2 gps devices.

 

I need one that can handle almost anything since it will be in my husbands hands and he is active duty army, no telling where it will land on the globe.

 

The second is for me, I need accuracy and reliability and of course global gps ability as well.

 

I am looking at spending about $800 total for both systems.

 

I am thinking Garmin, but am totally open to suggestions so lets have them.

 

Paperless is preferred.

My vote would be for the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx if you don't need paperless. If you want paperless caching go for one of the Oregon units. I have both a GPSMAP 60CSx and an Oregon 550t. They both have their place and are both relatively reliable units...

I think you'll find a wide range of international maps (both free and paid) if you go with Garmin. I'd suggest the Oregon 450 or wait for the just announced 62s.

 

I second that, the Oregon 450 is a superb device very rugged, waterproof and easy to use, in the UK we get a version with 1:50,000 maps for the country and it makes paperless caching a snap
