The G8 will be a great gauge, Garmin makes quality stuff. If money was no concern I’d get it. My family and I use Garmin Rino 755t handheld gps/radios. It has a feature to poll the location of anyone who has one so I can go direct to them plus it’s a radio. OnX used to make a micro SD card for every state you’d buy the states you want put it in the Rino’s and get land ownership, game management areas and a lot more. I use OnX offline on my phone coupled with my Rinos, it works great plus OnX is a satellite picture. I also can use them year round riding atv’s, hunting etc.
Thank you to those that posted what they‘ve paid for previous snowchecks.
