    I've had my 66i for a short time now. It's amazing. There's a learning curve but totally worth it.

    Definitely a learning curve, just got mine recently and there are more bells and whistles than anticipated.

    Got a garmin rino. Very nice unit if your hunting partners have them. If not get a simpler unit. But get the brmb chip, best thing you can do for it, really enhances the capabilities.

    What confused me is that some functions are available on your linked phone and some are not. Too many bells and whistles in some cases - at least for me. It's a space shuttle for sure.

    +1 on this advice. Montana is a rugged unit. I had an Oregon for years & it served me well, so Montana was an easy choice.

    I think it is a good starting point and you will be happy with it. I prefer to hunt rather than play with my GPS and all the bells and whistles when in the bush. Only use it when I need to.

    Well this is it. I've always done fine with a compass and dead reckoning and whenever I've hunted with GPS owners, they seem to spend more time f**king with their unit than hunting.
