Garmin 530 GPS

I use this device for navigating around the woods at night training hunting hounds. I also use it for snowmobiling, hiking, and deer hunting. It is an excellent device, and very accurate. I use it with topo maps and compasses. It is very reliable. The battery lasts for fifteen hours. This device will significantly add to your ability to navigate wild places. The two way and weather radio is useful as well. The included map is not all that good, so you should buy either the topo or highway programs available from Mapsource. The altimeter is very accurate. There is a main menu which has a variety of features to set up the device to your liking. There are even some included goodies like a stopwatch, a calender, and a calculator. A compass is included, which is very handy because when you want to go back to a waypoint, it shows you the actual direction to go. I am glad I have it but will add one caveat. Do not abandon your topo map and compass. I was raised with maps and compasses in a variety of venues I continue to use them in conjunction with my Rino.
