How to Choose an Angling GPS Unit
Posted on August 12, 2009 - Filed Under Fish, Fishing
Some anglers never have any use for GPS; they fish well-marked rivers in areas with excellent maps. But not everyone’s local water fits that profile; in the Appalachians from Georgia to Maine, in the Bighorns or the Wind River Range, and in large swathes of our national parks, it’s still extremely possible to get lost. The worst places for losing one’s sense of direction are forested mountains; the trees keep you from getting your bearings, while practically every little creek looks the same as every other little creek. In those situations, GPS is very useful. Deciding on GPS units can be complicated: Do I need a radio? What about a color screen? Will I use the voice navigation? Should I get a trail model only, or a road/trail model that can do double duty? Here’s a quick run down, drawn from my experiences with my GPS units, the Garmin Nuvi series ($100-300) and the Garmin Rino 520HCx ($450).
