With how well my phone works, I cannot imagine ever buying a GPS again.  Just my two cents.

You will be pleased with the 650t, I'm sure.

I bought mine just before hunting season last year and I love it.  The WA hunting chip shows the landowner of every parcel, and it is very easy to differentiate between public and private land. 

If you are planning on hunting out of state, there are state-specific chips, as well.

Garmin Etrex 20's here, they do what they are supposed to and don't break the bank when you have to buy multiples.
