What is the best hiking and road GPS out there?
kevin b asked:
I recently started hiking and thought that a trail GPS would be something good to invest in. I am now using a Magellan Maestro 3250 but I would like to get one that can do both road ways and hiking. I am also notoriously clumsy so something sturdy and water proof would be nice. Anyone out there use a gps unit that they can recommend?

What is the best way to manage GPS data with a PC?
AskBrian asked:
I have a Garmin eTrex GPS that did not come with any software, but has a USB port for PC interface. What is the best way to manage my waypoints, tracks, etc? Garmin has Topo map software that can be purchased separately but it is expensive. You’re really paying for the detailed maps, and I don’t need them. I just want to manage my own waypoints on a basic map.

Can someone suggest a good personal gps unit for hiking and kayaking?
skisonone asked:
I am looking for a personal gps unit for hiking and kayaking. I saw one not too long ago that works very very simply. You turn it on and mark your position when starting out and it tells you how to get back. That’s all it does. It is meant to be worn on a jacket zipper or a lanyard. Can someone tall me where to find it or suggest something else? Thanks in advance.
