That is the same unit I use and most people that I hunt with as well.  Very nice features, just make sure that you are all on the same datum, if you are trying to share waypoints and locations (they will be close but not accurate otherwise).

I just bought the Rino 655t maybe 2 months ago.  Been using it shed hunting quite a bit and it's been great!  Love the satellite photo capabilities and the 5 mp camera!

Garmin Geko 101. 

It's small, light, basic, and the batteries last a LONG time.

Gamin Vista H. Not too flashy but it won't break the bank, either. Works just fine.

The large touch screen works with gloves on, too. Get the optional alkaline battery pack so you don't have to worry about recharging in camp.

I have an older Rino and like it, but since my other hunting partners didn't have it i don't think i got full use of its capabilities. If you have other partners with them  if not maybe a simpler/cheaper one...

Oregon 450T.  No need for a camera in my GPS, as I pack a 14MP camera all the time for photos.  Great mapping. Weather resistant. Touch screen.  Simple to use.  Great battery life.  Topo feature is nice for running ridges.  Has capabilities of holding several states worth in maps with an upgrgaded larger SD card.  Even with the new Garmin's out, I have no desire to switch at this point.

Garmin GPSMAP 60Csx. Burns in extremely quick EVERYWHERE!

More powerful equipment takes more power. I get 14 hours out of my recharge unit and about 8 out of the alkaline batteries, on constantly. I keep it off unless I'm using it and will get many days use. It locks onto satellites immediately, regardless of cover or weather. And being able to see your buddy's position whenever he keys the mic is awesome. Having sat images of where you are is incredible. You can switch back and forth between them or have a hybrid of both.
