Re: Which GPS
Ok... I know what I'm about to say may seem like heresy, but here goes...
Do I have a compass? yeah, it's somewhere in my pack, I think.
But my eTrex Legend C uses 2 AA batteries. And let's see... I have a $10 jumbo pack of AAs from Wally World as well.
Oh yeah....ever since I bought the eTrex Legend C, I still throw my original eTrex Legend in the pack as well.
Oh yeah, my hiking partner has his GPS too.
The one thing that years and years of flying taught me was to as much redundancy as possible.
Certainly there's the cost factor, but more batteries and second "el-cheapo" GPS is pretty much in anyone's reach.
I'm old and I've done it both ways long enough (compass and GPS) to convince me I'd rather have another pound of extra batteries and a second GPS than to slog it out with a compass.
