Thumbs up Re: Which GPS

Having a good map (one where you can determine lat-long on it), with waypoints marked, is a must.

I pretty much develop my own custom set of maps on my PC, using a combination of National Geographic's Topo maps and my mapping software (MapSource) for my Garmins. This lets me incorporate all kinds of things like a hybrid street / topo map, mark up the trails, etc.

Over the last year, I've been buying National Geographics waterproof map paper. It's incredible. The maps I print out are pretty much tear proof and water proof.
