[QUOTE="condor22, post: 151106, member: 1932"] There is a way of setting a boundary into pretty well any GPS handheld, I've done it. But you need more gear to do it. I go into Oziexplorer on my laptop and can draw a track around a State Forrest Boundary (or any area). I use topographical maps of the area, the smaller the scale the better. I then connect my GPS or tablet to the laptop, upload the track to the GPS and there it is. It's no different to plotting a route except that it's a closed loop. My smart phone, dash mounted tablet both have inbuilt GPS antenna and the tracks can be loaded on both as well as the Garmin E20. It's long winded but you can do it directly into a GPS providing you have topo maps showing boundary detail loaded into the handheld. [/QUOTE]
