Hey Shannon, I've pretty much had nothing but Garmin myself for the portables (Lowrance in the bassboat!). Hiking, driving, flying.. all Garmin products. I'm currently using the Garmin eTrex Legend Cx. I like that I can actually download the super nice topos from National Geographic onto it. I actually first bring up the topo on the PC, then it's super easy to import, draw, edit, etc your routes and the drop the whole shebang (topo graphics and routes, etc) right onto it.

I've been super interested in the Rhinos. We usually each carry a 2-way radio (the little FRS units) to keep in touch if we're a larger group and get seperated. But I've been intrigued by the capability to actually see the other persons location on my handheld map.

How has your experience been with them?

Thanks in advance, WT
