I need a gps for my ATV which one do you reccomend? I would like to have it portable as I will need to take it from quad to quad. I don't need anything fancy just to get me out of the woods if I get lost. Are they easy to use? Thanks to all that can help.

 

I have a Garmin Foretrex 201 that straps to my forearm. It also has a handlebar mount that is available. It is small and has all the features I could ever want, plus is completely weatherproof. I like the fact that because I'm actually wearing it, it automatically goes where ever I go. Link: Garmin Foretrex 201

 

Great, now im going to have to buy one of those!!

 

Thanks alot

 

i have used an old yellow etrex for years, and just bought an etrex vista cx. the old yellow one is not a mapping unit and lacks a little in the memory dept, but it is still my favorite on the atv. the vista is a mapping unit and has tons of features, but the screen has too much information available on it to use on the go on an atv. you have to stop and look at, where the yellow etres just has the minimum on the screen, and heavier lines for the track log and stuff. the vista cx is easy to use hiking when you can devote a little more attention to it.
and the mapping units will make you fight with the computer for hours to get the information back and forth between gps and computer.

I just got a etrax (yellow) will work for me. I don't need the extra perks for the ATV

 

i think you will like it. like i say, i still use my yellow etrex even tho i have the high end one.

all of the brand name/12 or more channel gps's should suffice, just shop price, recently picked up a full feature Lowrance for $75 on ebay,new . darn thing even has an Spam wordSpam word Spam wordSpam word Spam wordSpam word Spam wordSpam word  feature, electronics today are nothing short of amazing,hard to keep up......

 

E-Trex Legend. Great lil' unit!
