Hello all. I am going fishing to the Mc
Arthur river over
Easter. I am not familiar with area and am considering buying a gps which can be used to track my route and give me a paper trail to follow to get me back to
camp. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I use a Garmin Rino 650.
A high (I nearly said top end!) quality unit, not cheap but all the features you would require plus a 1-5w. 80ch. UHF
As
well as "trak back" you can mark way points plus "man overboard"
The only drawback I find is that frequent re calibration of the electronic compass is required. I do this each morning before leaving
camp.
Mike
