I currently use a 3 year old Garmin eTrex. It loses signal as soon as I go into the sparsest treecover. Are the newer more expensive units more sensitive so that they find the signal when in the woods?

I plan on using a GPS to navigate trails, and count my mileage on horseback. I am a trail guide for a horse pack station and our trails go through high mountains and thick trees. I don’t plan on spending more than $200.

I got a Garmin GPSmap 60 for Christmas. You can download topo maps into it. I went to the Garmin website and they charge an excess of 100 dollars. Quite a steep price for an already quite expensive GPS unit. You guys know anywhere I can download topo maps for free or a cheaper cost? Thanks guys. Happy Holidays.

Im an out doors kinda guy, off roading, fishing, hunting looking for ghost towns in the middle of no where, you get the point. However i notice my gps sucks at this or is it me. I have a tomtom and it doesn’t seem to do great with coordinates off road? Am i right or i just not know how to use it correctly? Do i need to invest in a different gps like a eTrex or something?
