Rich T asked:
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?

Simplyme2 asked:
we would like to be able to do more of these “hunts” and was wondering if anyone who does them could tell me more on what to look for when going to buy a GPS hand held device-don’t want to pay a lot but get a nice product for the money I do spend.

I have an adult family member that likes to walk during the night (and I don’t want suggestions about me or them, just the GPS), and I wanted to know what GPS or receiver (which ever it is) that shows me ONLINE where that family member is while they are walking incase they get wore out & I need to go get them.

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.

Is there anywhere I can download topo maps for my Garmin GPS without the $100+ price tag?
Kevin asked:
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.

What GPS unit shall I buy for geocaching?
Vicky N asked:
I have no idea about geocaching, but my boyfriend loves it. I really want to buy him a handheld gps unit for christmas. I would be so greatful if anyone could reccomend one for under £200. If not I would appreciate any good websites. I have tried to research the different models, but it is all very technical and i think it needs an expert to determine what is the best, however i really want this present to be a surprise. I would really appreciate any help anyone could give!
