it still seems most GPS's have issues in even moderate tree cover.........
I understand RF and how things interfere, but, it would seem with all this technology, it'd be workable......

I am on my 4th GPS, and use the garmin 60csx. It has incredible antenna coverage. I can sit in my house and get a lock. I was out with it inside my jacket and it still kept track. Certainly the best I have seen so far. My Garmin Map I had sucked for antenna coverage.
Tried the new state of the art Megellan Triton 2000 and it was terrible...went right back to Cabelas...3 hour battery life ..all kinds of bugs..Its a real pig when it comes to reception..i did mega research and bought the Garmin 60csx.. could not be happier...Garmin also makes a sweet handlebar mount..easy to use, rugged, waterproof and has super great reception...I rate the 60csx a big 10.

and,......
How much are they?

Henry

I'm using a Megellan Map Track with the streets & destinations software. I have the suction cup windshield mount, and use it for trips, and for offroading in the Jeep, and Argo. It's a few years old, but has great reception. Igot it off ebay new, and the software for about $150. It has come in handy, especially when you get out in the deep woods exploring!

I never get lost : I take expeditions!
I'm guided by the Magic 8 Ball.
my Nextel has GPS & hasn't failed me yet!
Some good ideas you have there, I will try a few out myself.
Thanks

But the colour version of the Garmin 60 - much better and although the screen size is smaller than my old Garmin Map series, it is clearly easier to view. Go to Garmin. We'll Take You There.® to see the detailed specs.
