handheld gps

andrew. I live in melb but virtually born in the Barmah Forest, borders the murray river.Have found it very usefull in this area when you get lost. Best use it has ever been put to was travelling the Marsh at Derby NT We were there for 3 weeks and without the GPS wouldnt have survived ,found some absolutely fantistic rivers etc that you could only spot from a plane.as you only see a shimmer for a background, ie nothing visable.Backtracking is the most used part of our gps , once again up an over the sand dunes an then at least you can find your way back even if the sun is behind a cloud..Also usefull for looking for a straight stretch of road up front to let a road train past. look forward to your reply.
PS went to Annaconda in melb today to look at Garmin map 60 cxs. they didnt have one on display.

sorry andrew. I forgot the $s . Perpared to spend up to $1000.00 for a good one that will see me out. .65 year old.Paid $900 for last one but now better machines seem to be available for a lot less.
