hand held gps

it all depends that you want in a GPS, but i can suggest a Garmin 60Cx or for fishing use buy the 76Cx, You can go to the Magellan Brand like the Triton

They all come with an accuracy of plus or minus 5 to 10 metres

zacc get one for a trial and also go buy a book called GPS vehicle Navigation in Australia - They have it at the Exploroz shop, just email Damian. You'll learn a heap.

GPS are all the same accuracy, its the skill of the user that varies

With the right conditions in a clear sky, all GPS's will give you similar accuracy. This all changes when you aren't experiencing good conditions. Therefore, the GPS that can receive the best triangulation from 3 satellites plus one other satellite for receiving crucial timing data, will give you the most accurate position data. By seeing more satellites in the sky, your GPS will have a better ability to choose the best 3 for triangulation.

To receive a good signal for satellites, an external antenna is extremely helpful where there is a lot of overhead cover i.e. mountainous terrain, overhanging large trees, heavy cloud cover.

However, the new GPS's hitting the market are using a SIRF3 chip. It's ability to seek satellites is amazing. You will probably find you don't need an external antenna using a GPS with this chip. In fact, most new GPS's don't have external antenna capabilty.

I have a Garmin Etrex legend and I really like it...compact and the batters last very long before it needs a charge. You can load metro guide onto it for city navigation if you are really keen. It’s easy to use
