What's the best easiest to use Handheld
gps unit u guy's have?? thanks

 

[Ex-Member]

Best one is the one you're comfortable with.

Use the function, there's tons of threads on here about this.

Garmin makes great units.

I have an old one.

 

[snowman557]

Can u really ride with them there?
Looks like a great idea but the deep powder
& cold??
Thought u'd probablly have to keep in
inside pocket??

I use a garmin Rino, works great and also has a radio function that is compatable with other hand held radios. Also can set it up so if others in your group have rino's that you can locate each other. Great feature.

I recommed friend's for GPS, instead of wasteing Money find a group of guy's to ride with, there's people all over this form trying to spilt Expenses. Find a group that know's the mountain's and ride with them. And plus you don't have to worry about not trusteing them because every snowmobiler out there is Very great and nice. My Two cent's

Have a great Sleding year.

For rugged outdoor use snowmobiling, hunting etc, I like the Garmin 60 series. I have several GPS units and the 60 csx is the one I always grab. Great, fast reception even under tree cover. Easy on batteries. Lot's of available accessories and easy to view day or night.

Have the Garmin Colorado 400t love it very easy to use but they are proud of them.

 

[po4life]

Have you had any trouble with the GPS getting to cold and shutting off.

garmin 60csx

I love the garmin 60csx. The cold doesn't affect it, the water doesn't affect it, the vibration doesn't affect it. I use it in the summer on my street bike, take it dirt biking and hiking. The antenna works in the cab of my truck, which previous models wouldn't do without an external antenna or putting them on the dash. Pretty easy on batteries as well.

I used to have issues with batteries getting cold and not working. Cold doesn't affect the GPS itself, it's gotta get real cold before it'll stop working. When the sled's on, my GPS gets power from the sled, so batteries just sit. When the sled stops, it switches to batteries. Keep it over 50% warm batteries, it'll do fine in the cold.

Any Garmin GPS, the wallet desides which. I use the Garmin 60Csx, and it really simple to use, and that's my main criteria. You don't want to have a GPS which demands you to have MIT education to use it, it has to be infantry safe

i have the garmin 705; i use it on my bike, when traveling (locates restaurants, hotels, etc), in the car and will bring it while sledding this year. small device that is user friendly and fairly intuitive. it is a bit pricey, but i have multiple uses for it.

 

[Rixster]

Garmin rino, doesnt matter which one.

 

[deerhorn]

Garmin Rhino hands down. They have a very user friendly interface. Also have a two way radio which is very handy. If your riding buddies have one and you get seperated it can locate them and lead you to them. It is very compact, works well in all conditions. I have had one for 3 years and it has not failed me yet. Highly recommend it.

As most replies, Garmin is the leader, I have the 60CX but the newest handhelds by Garmin out look pretty nice. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=145&pID=11019#

does anyone have any experience with the Garmin Oregon 400t?

I bought one this year to replace my 60 cs---I have been playing with it for a couple of months and I think it is going to be very cool---super easy to use, and the touchscreen buttons are really easy to use with gloves on.
