    Recommend a GPS?

    I see Cabela's has the Garmin 64 sx GPs on sale for $300. I'm thinking of getting into the GPS world.

    What do you guys think is a decent unit in that price range? Or should I aim higher?

    Have you checked out the Ihunter app? Might be worth a look before you spend your money on a GPS.

    I have a Garmin and like it.
    Can add BC backroad Map Card to them, which I find practical.

    Now, unless you hunt with partners and want to know where they are at "real time", then you need the Rhino version of Garmins.
    BUT, your hunting buddies have to be willing to fork out the cash as well, as they only work between Rhino's.

    I have a rhino (530) I think, With bc map books card for bc. I used to poll my friends, talk on the radio with them ( it’s the 5 w, us version not sold in can) however my friends all quit , too busy or moved away and I do t use it too much anymore. It’s a good GPS. I am considering selling it but am not sure yet.

    I suppose that goes in a cell phone? I have no data on my phone plan. It's just for calling.

    What units offer an SOS function and texting?
