Good GPS for backcountry?

[huntingdog16]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what kind of GPS to get? I have never used a GPS since I was trained to only use a map and a compass when I used to be on my Orienteering team in my JROTC program in High School. I don't want to spend a lot of money on a high end one since I don't even know how to use them. Just hoping someone could help recommend a decent beginner level GPS.

I still use the snot out of my phone.  I bring along one of those little battery recharger things if I'm going to be out a while.  If you download the maps ahead of time on your phone they stay with you, whether or not you have cell service.  Your phone has a built in GPS and doesn't require cell service to operate (at least if you have any of the last couple generation iPhones).

I use mine all the time and its great to have topo maps, aerial maps and whatever you manage to download before you lose service.  It hasn't let me down yet.   

I usually bring some paper maps as well if I can.  The green trails maps are awesome.

If you have a small budget. A rhino 120 can be found on line. No maps though.
But will get you in and out.

I run several rhinos 110,120, and 650. All work just fine for getting back and forth to camp.

I have the 62s easy to use and works great.

I'm a big fan of my smart phone. During state mobilizations(big state fires) we use PDF maps as an app and you can download a lot of maps. Most free and then your phones internal GPS will track you on it regardless of service and keeps you on a base map. I have a lot of maps so you can download or purchase different relief styles or whatever is available. Some are nice because they have old run over roads on them that don't show up on new maps. Other wise I like the Garmin rinos
