[QUOTE="kbaerg, post: 1007537, member: 38023"] I purchased myself a Garmin 62s last spring for the main purpose of marking where my pickup and camp is at. I still carry my maps and compass cause I like to plan for that OH BOY moment when electronics fail. I have so far been happy with how it's working. I did get the birds eye as I had a discount for it. I can see pros and con's. It's nice satellite imagery when downloading in high resolution but takes forever, also I can see it takes a bit of memory if you want a big area. Low resolution is not worth it for me. For now I have the topo maps which I got free off another site and they work fine. My hunting is usually in the Black Hills of South Dakota so I'm not trekking into major canyons or mountains yet, but I do get 2-3 miles away from my vehicle and 2-3 from camp. What I like is I can mark where camp and vehicle are at and go hunt, mark where I see game or whatever else is of interest and use the garmin to get back to either if needed. [/QUOTE]
