[QUOTE="andyK, post: 299960, member: 8892"] I've got the Garmin Montana 650. Very similar to the Oregon but with a bigger screen, if I remember correctly. The pros: simple to use for basic stuff allows you to make maps in google earth and download to the unit much bigger screen (my previous etrex screen was annoyingly small) batteries last fine has a camera to take pics of finds The cons: it is expensive requires you to use BaseCamp software to transfer files (works but it is a little cumbersome) I like having the GPS to accurately mark finds, create tracks to upload to my google earth, and help me locate my pick when I lose the thing over and over again. :D [/QUOTE]
