[QUOTE="jethro, post: 298570, member: 1297"] Dont get a touchscreen operated one. I have a Magellan 610. It was a free upgrade after the 510 I purchased would not function/ froze and flattened batteries left in the unit even when turned off. I find the Touch screen to be a pain to see as I have to leave the clear film on to stop scratching from dirt on the fingers when out prospecting. Its very hard to see in sunlight. Not a fan of the software that came with it either as it wont recognise a lot of the mapping file extensions. Id go a Garmin Rhino if you could afford it. Or an Etrex 20 if you just want basic functions. [/QUOTE]
