You will be pleased with the 650t, I'm sure.

I bought mine just before hunting season last year and I love it. The WA hunting chip shows the landowner of every parcel, and it is very easy to differentiate between public and private land.

If you are planning on hunting out of state, there are state-specific chips, as well.
