Help With GPS...Want to buy

[Roghet]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 2][#0000bf]once you have a GPS with good/great maps fishing is never the same. You can go to a new lake and simply by looking over the map get a great idea on where you should be fishing and also how to get there.[/#0000bf]

Thanks for the info guys, I was going to make the same post! [img]../../../images/gforum/.gif[/img] I've never used one, but see the value in it and I need some more clarification on some things. Please.

The Garmin eTrex HC keeps showing up at the top in reviews, and it's in my price range.

My understanding is that I will need some separately purchased road maps if I want to be able to go from "point A to point B" and have a visual for driving. Is that correct?

And, what about what was said above? This is the kicker for me wanting a GPS, some kind of lake map. Does the eTrex HC have lake maps and will I need to purchase additional separate software? (How does this work, will it show lake depth, just an outline?)

Outside of what has already been mentioned above - what other features/options are a must have for fishing and outdoors stuff?

THANKS!!! I REALLY appreciate it! [img]../../../images/gforum/.gif[/img]
