Which GPS do you use for elk hunting

[Stein]

Phone + spare battery or battery charger.  Faster, easier to use and I always have it with me.  The GPS units I have used seem to all be stuck in the state of the art technology of 2000.

rhino 650 and Iphone with hunt maps and a few other apps.

Look at the phone for satellite view. Look at the rhino to see where your buddies and to talk when out of cell service.

I used to use the rino but now I just use the onyx map app.  I actually sold my rino

[Labs07]

Rino 650t with the on x chip.  Have always run rinos because all my hunting buddies own one as well.  The chips are great and I have them for WA,ID,MT and WY....all the areas I love to hunt and recreate in.

If you can find a Oregon 450t, that's what I would get

My Garmin 60csx died this year so I bought a new Garmin 62s. I like it. A lot...

I switched to using my iPhone with the GAIA app this year. Unless I'm hunting with other guys who have rinos I'll be leaving the rino at home from now on.

Problem with using phone's  is when out service. You have nothing.

I like the 64. I did not like the Etrex the screen is small and the buttons too

530 is still going strong.  I'll buy Garmin's replacement for it when it dies.

My dad has a 530hcx. I bought the replacement for it - the 650. I love it. I will recommend nothing else. If your friends are too cheap to buy Garmin Rinos with you, as long as they have GMRS/FRS radios they will be able to talk with you still.

phone and on-xhunt app.  try the free 7 day trial.  download map of area before you lose cell/internet service.  satellite view is good. - oops see you have it.  Just figure out how to download the maps and it works well.

Rhino with topo map is good too.  By two and loan one to your buddies.  They can find you to help pack when time comes.

onx hunt app is too buggy for my taste.  I loose private property boundaries too often and sometimes I just see a blank gray screen for too long.  Irritates me.

I did download the maps for the area's I was in but not the highest resolution setting. 

also have 4g wifi in my truck and still have troubles.   Samsung s4 I think

Nope ! Phones GPS keeps working even without cell service !   Yea magic. :-)   You do need to predownload the region you are hunting beforehand - like a 20 x 20 mile area for example .
