Best system for fairly heavy tree cover

[+Dep&Uno&Co]

I did a search on this topic but the most detailed post was from Sept 2001. Anyone have more recent opinions? We currently have a Garmin III+ but want another one to use when we are separated. Any recomendations? How is the Garmin V?

 

Thanx

I have the 3+ and love it. It is known to be very good at holding a lock. I have heard the V is also as good. try not to get one w/ a patch antennia.

 

-------> Did you ever do any trail maintainence? - if so you will know that all but the most worn trails need continuous maintenance to prevent mother nature from reclaiming it. herd paths are quickly reclaimed - k2dave to a troll

If you wanted to take a peek at something in the upper mid-range area (below the Garmin GPS V, but beside or above it and most others in many respects), take a peek at the Magellan Meridian series.

 

Now, if you are really comfortable with the Garmin user interface, you'll be awkward at first with Magellan's UI, and you may not like the Meridians at all. Still, in the interest of completeness, you may want to at least take a look at the Meridians. They *do* have a lot of nice features (as do the Garmins).

Really trees, heavy foliage and GPS really don't go together even with lots of $$'s. The more $$'s spent on more accurate type systems the more trees become a problem.

 

One physical solution to trees is a chainsaw .

 

Cheers, Kerry.

 

I never get lost everybody keeps telling me where to go
