Sitting here at school, Jeepless, I've been thinking quite a bit of taking advantage of winter break and really any time I get at home to go wheeling.
However, I've also realized that some of my favorite trails were run with someone else leading them, and that I probably couldn't find the trails again if I tried. For example, I know the general area where Last Chance Canyon is, but not the exact turnoff. In short, I need a GPS.
I'm looking for something that will be for off-roading use only. About the only on-road directions I would need are those to a trail. Off road functionality, durability, the ability to download maps, and a breadcrumb feature are what I want. I'd like a handheld since I do occasional hiking too.
I've had some experience with the Garmin e-Trex when I ran a Boy Scout camp, and the price is right, how good is this unit for what I want? I see that the Garmin 60csx is the most recommended unit here (other than big money Lowrances) but is it really worth 3x the e-Trex price?
