A good choice

Garmin eTrex Worldwide Handheld Navigator

As with any electronic device, it takes some learning and getting used to. Give it a chance is all I am saying. The Etrex 20 has been out with me geocaching, hiking, and scouting for about a week now. I have used it quite a bit in the little time I have had it. It has proven to be a very good unit. Satellite signal is very good and does not appear to be hindered by heavy cover. I have on several occasio ns, gotten a signal inside a house. The screen is very easily read- even in direct sunlight. I got the bundle package with the Topo US 100K maps and while it's not as detailed as 1:24K, it's still pretty darn good and quite accurate. Very well priced compared to buying the GPS and mapping software separate. I will say that it took me a minute and some questions to GPS forums to figure out how to get this unit to talk to Google Earth and import/ export data from Google Earth. But once you learn how, it's incredible. You can actually get aerial images from Google Earth and get them onto you GPS!! There are a lot of other mapping and POI managing system out there besides Google earth and the KML file converter that I am using so shop around and try a couple. They all have a learning curve. The batteries on the unit, seem to last quite some time (I have my backlight turned down to 50% though). I am still on my first pair of batteries and I am reading full power after using the hec out of it. The menus are pretty user friendly and you will get good at accessing them after some practice. The manual that comes with it is only "quick set up", so you will need to download one off the internet. Using this in the car I have it mounted on the dash and have not lost signal yet- even on cloudy days while driving fast. Garmin custom maps is a pretty cool tool that I used to get the aerials on my unit. You can access learn about that from Garmin's website. The only downside that I have seen with this unit so far is the toggle stick on the front top right of the unit that is used for scrolling through menus and maps. The unit does not have a "lock feature" for it and if you pocket the unit, there is a very real chance of bumping the toggle stick and putting you somewhere else in the GPS than where you want to be. Other than that little glitch, I am very pleased with this unit. My friend after watch ing mine in operation is seriously considering getting one. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a real affordable and dependable GPS mapping and geochaching unit.

Bushnell neo plus

Bushnell Plus Golf Rangefinder Watch I was specifically looking for a golf gps watch to replace my old sky caddie sg2. No complaints about the sky caddie, except for the membership dues i've been paying for the last 10 years. I only had to replace the battery once, and the yardages seemed spot on. The idea of a golf gps watch seems like a good idea. No leaving it at the house or in the cart , it's always right there on your wrist. It came down to the garmin approach s1 or the new bushnell neo plus. The garmin had been around for a while and had great reviews. Only real complaints were with the battery life. The neo boasted much greater battery life and was also 50 bucks cheaper, but also new and untested by the public(no reviews). I see there has already been one review and not such a good one. So here's my take. The watch arrived ready to go, right out of the box, as advertised. Upon arriving at my course, the gps locked on my course with...
