Garmin gps

A friend of mine works for DNR and says the ones they use is the 60csx. He's going to be down loading all the DNR land in Washington State for me to put into mine.

I bought the 60csx, now I need to get the 24k topo...

9 weeks ago I purchased a Delorme PN-40, and I love the thing!  It's much cheaper than the Garmins, has good reviews.  Only negative things about it are that you cannot seem to find any aftermarket maps already installed on the SD cards like the garmin, with the property boundries/land owner listings like the Montana Maps...  Other than that, it was easy to download the free 1:100,000 TOPO 9 into it for Montana, Oregon, Idaho, and WA. The whole country is supplied, but I didn't want to take up all the SD card space (wanted the rest of the space for the satellite imagery of my hunting areas).  So I then loaded 8 gb of sat images onto the unit, and was in high heaven... Until 2 weeks ago, when the on/off button got stuck.  I sent it back for free warranty repair, but still.  Now I'm wondering if I should have spent another 200 for the Oregon 450T......  But of the two your looking at the 60csx seems much more capable than the rhinos.

I bought the 60Csx, $199, thought I got a good deal !
Happy to be back playing "Beast Hunt", won/loss record is a lot better than on the one that was stolen !!
P.S. gonna make sure and register this one on websight.

I picked up the 550t in March. Cabelas had them on sale for 349$. Absolutely love it. I do alot of geocaching with the kids and have been setting up trail cams with it already it is by far the best gps I have used in the last 10 years. It is more expensive that most but there is so much you can do and learn with it.

I have used the rhinos and the only draw back is the batteries.  They are a pack and therefore you need a charging source.  I try to get my electronics to run off the same batteries.   The rhino is not just a gps and radio once programed it shows all your maps, trails, weather radio, and 2 way radio.  I have used it to locate other hunters in my area who are broadcasting so I can stay away from them.

If all you want is a GPS function I would not get the rhino.  Personally, i only use my gps to find spots and get back to the truck or camp, i dont waste battery by having it "track" me.

By the way I run Garmin Vista... the rhino is a buddies.

Find a good deal on a Garmin 60Cx or 60CSx.  They're solid, proven outdoor performers.

I keep getting input, but as I stated already, it is a DONE DEAL !
I bought the 60Csx, $199, too lat to think about any other options.
P.S. I dont use it to avoid getting lost, I use it with mapping software for home scouting when I cannot be in the woods.
First I cover all roads that I can drive, mark gates, then I walk gated roads.
enter (waypoint) significant game trails, rub lines, gobbling Turkeys, roost trees, wallows etc...
when I am at home I download to map, sit there and stare at map and look for patterns,(points, elevation, distance from road, creekbed etc) travel corridoors, escape routes, and so on...
Geocaching with the kids is the other thing, I try to find as many large ones as possible, they pretend its "treasure" 
I get good battery life from 2 AA in the garmin, and carry spares, but usually use them in my flashlight on my way out of the woods after dark.

I bought a power cord (truck adapter) for mine so I can run the Nimhh ( or whatever you call them ) batteries in mine. So for so good. But, Im just learning how the run the thing.
