Does anyone know about the Garmin Dakota? Is it similar to the Oregon? I don't know anything about these newer models, because I have had my trusty 60csx for several years now. But the other day my uncle asked me about the Dakota and if it was a good unit. I didn't have a clue. Told him I'd get the 60csx but I can't tell him why it's better than the Dakota.

Dakota's are a downgrade to the Oregon's. Montana's are the newer upgrade. I can't justify going to the Montana, because I personally don't feel the upgrade is worth the extra money.

Love my Oregon 550T.  The 3D mapping is cool and I downloaded the satelite imagery this year.  Came in handy last week during scouting.  I was able to check where the clearings were ahead of me.  It's like having Google earth on your GPS.

Love my Rino 530Hcx.  Get the 1:24K maps for whatever you get as opposed to the 1:100k maps and you will be very pleased.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Well our group changed over to garmin Rhinos about 4 years ago. We love them because they are radios and GPS.
Pier to pier postioning is a great feature when yo hunt with a group. Even when I hunt alone I leave one on in my rig and key the mike through the day. Keeps trck of my position incase something happens. There is a model to fit anyone. Rhino 110 in most stores run about 169.00.

Lots of opinions and experiences.  For me, there's nothing better than the Rino line.
