[quote=Shannon]If you are a GPS user, what make/model GPS unit(s) do you use and what's your primary usage of them, for example -- driving, hiking/backpacking, fishing, boating, flying, etc.

I use a Garmin GPS12 mostly for driving. The map page is useful on my trips to Kerrville from San Antonio when I take the scenic route 16 to if I recall correctly 173 (the sign that says Kerrville that way!). One night on my way back there was a nice drizzle and a fog. With the map page I was able to adjust my speed for the curves before actually seeing them. It's like playing a real life video game where your steering wheel is the joy stick and all you have to do to stay alive is keep the little diamond on the line! I got lucky there weren't any obstacles in my path. Night driving and a GPS is a lot of fun especially in the rain and fog. I also carry a military Cammenga compass and a map just in case the batteries go dead.
