What kind of GPS do you have/recommend 2013 ?

[Tmac47]

What models do you use that are around $250 ??? Some models require you to buy a $100 topo map set. Many of the models, the map says it's topo but looks like one of those 3D/ feely maps and I don't like that...I want real Topo maps.

Thanks for your help.

Are there no smartphone apps that do what you need?  Buying a piece of hardware that does what a $40 smartphone can do via an app seems a bit outdated.

I didn't read all the posts (sorry if I'm rehashing) but what will you use the GPS for?

I've been using a Garmin ETrex legend and it does the job for little money.

Tmac, welcome to the forum. Let us know a little something about yourself by filling out your location, and what your pursuits are. There is a nice map up in the menu under 'Members Map' where you can stick your pin on.  ;D

Here's a link to a site with info on using an iPhone as a GPS mapping device for backpacking: adventurealan.com/iphone4gps.htm  It's not specifically forestry focused, but it does have some good info.  Scroll down to the "how to choose your apps" section for a link to an annotated list of the 80 apps they've reviewed.
