GPS for hunting

[palousemoose]

I am considering a new GPS for my hiking/hunting this year.  Do any of you use one and what kind of experience have you have with the Oregon 400t or Colorado 400t?  Those seem like the two that best fit my needs but I havent used either of them.

I have an older Rino 110 that I like the feature of the radio in. Also that it takes AA batteries instead of a battery pack. Many of the new GPS's take Lithium-Ion packs. Advantage is that they last longer. Disadvantage is that I can't take the bat out of my flashlight to power up the high end GPS's. I like that the Oregon takes AA batteries.

Most all of the the Garmin products are quite water proof. The topo stuff/maps is cool in those color screens. But... That's a touch screen on that Oregon. I dunno how that would hold up compared to the abuse I've given my Rino over the years.

The Colorado 400t has been discontinued already. I'd stay away.

My old man and I got the rhino 590 I believe it is last year. While they are a little spendy, they are great. They are a combination radio/gps and have alot of useful features. It is really nice to be able to send my location to the other radio so that I show up on the his map. Last archery season I came across a few cows and instead of having to try and talk my buddy to where I was, I just sent him my location and he was able to come find me.

I have a garmin 60 and I have played with Doug's 400t and wish had seen his first I think it is more user friendly.

These are great, especially with the feature of seeing where your partner is located on screen.
