Well, he didn't say.. "Took It Out". Thank goodness.He said "unit" uh, heh heh yeah.....
All those Garmin, uh, units, are way more than what we'd need. Just wanting something that is as accurate for forest roads and possibly elevation. Still with the understanding that these roads are susceptible to fallen trees and other unknown closures. and should be able to put it on the car's 9" screen.Here is a Garmin handheld GPS model comparison matrix. One of the models actually has a 840 hour battery life in one of its modes. Can your phone do that? Of course, some of these cost more than your phone by itself. An app is much cheaper (or free). I don't know if any of these will show property lines and property owners such as some of the phone apps will, which is an astounding feature.
Many of these Garmin models, if not most, come preloaded with maps.
No reason you can't have both, other than money. I like the idea of using my one, with the other along for backup, depending on whether I am hunting or I am hiking the Pacific Coast Trail.

Not shown here are the Rino models, which are the Garmin models which will show you the locations of other members of your hunting party.
