Which GPS do you use?

[CROW]

It's time to replace my Garmin GPSMap 76S, so what is everyone using? Likes and dislikes?

I've got an old Legend that I have been using for a long time. Also looking to upgrade, but wondering if they are going to come out with a new Rino that has the features of the Colorado/Oregon.....

I'll probably wait until next fall at this point, some good deals online on WalMart's site right now FYI.

I got the Colorado this year. I love it so far. I know it is more money but i think it is well worth it.

Rhino 530, great setup, love mine!

Rino 520, only thing I would upgrade to is the 530... It's great to be able to poll where other people are... (if they have the rino series)

i just got a rino 530 about two weeks ago and picked up the 2008 topo CD. Last weekend I went out for a spin in about 5 degree temps put on 125 miles with that in a webbed pocket on my backpack. Every stop it was covered in snow dust from the trail, yes the FL’s, frosted and cold but always working took in and it would thaw I never dried it and jumped back on the sled froze it up good and it just kept working no problems. I haven't tried the radio yet but as far as taken the elements this one can stand up to it. We have a trip planned to IP at the end of Feb. and there will be others there with a rino so it will be cool to how it performs. The map source software seems pretty good I like the view direct in Google earth.

Been using a Garmin 276C for 5 years now - Even lost it on a trail once and found it laying in the snow about a mile back still on and working fine.

Two reasons I picked this model - Color & big screen.

Garmin Colorado 400T. Got it for $400 minus a $50 rebate. 3D Topos in the field are incredible! Screen is hard to read in the bright daylight, have to duck under a tree.

Is the $50 rebate from Garmin? Where did you get it for $400?

Rhino 530, great setup, love mine!

I really like the position broadcast. You can see everyone in your party that has a Rino. I can keep track of the wife that way. If she get's lost just "find" the wife and walla their she is. You can also send your position to others so they can meet you. Just a solid unit..

another vote for Rino 530, it take a lickin and no trademark infringement

Garmin Qwest - $139 - 20 hr. battery life. Have topo maps I can load....

I am new to the 530, I have two 530's and a wife, where in the menu is the position broadcast located?
