I am looking at purchasing a handheld GPS for finding and marking fishing areas. Any help on brands or what features I should look for would be much appreciated. I would like to get by as reasonable $$ as possible, but also don't want to purchase a unit that is hard to use or unreliable either. If this topic has been discussed in the past just post a note telling me how far back to look. Thanks in advance for any reply's. Can't wait to get up there!!!

smile.gif Thanks alot Try To Fish. Wondering if anyone has the Garmin Geko 101 or 201 units. Are these units capable of downloading information (Lake Maps) from internet. Thanks again.

I don't really like Geko's. The screen is puny for the amount of info it needs to display. The are also not very durable. <P>Toy's, basically.......

Thanks irvingdog, I'll scratch the Geko off my list. the garmin legend states that it has 8mb storage capacity. confused.gif I am assuming that will give me more capability of storing different lake maps?

Yep, with the legend you can download maps onto the unit. That, or the GPS 76 Map would be my top two choices. Good luck.

I have had a lorance Global 100 and have been vary happy with it and I am able to down load positions and routs from LAKEMAPS. Also a great back up in the summer in my boat I always mark the landing on it and sabe before shuting it down, Just incase L320df should go out.

Check out the GArmin Map 76 or map 76s. THey are great and have alot of memory for downloading to and carry up to 500 waypoints. They are easy to use and have a bigger screen for viewing

      The locals there shoot ducks but don't hunt them. If they see a bunch on a pond they'll sneak up and water swat them but it's strictly for food not sport. My buddy runs an outfitter so him and I will hunt a few days and scout then I'll help him with a group whose coming mid week. He's from there. Hoping he can come to Canada next year with me. He's never seen or shot a goose

      Awesome kind of trip! I figured there would be a local benefit if you couldn’t bring them back (not saying you can’t).  Having a connection down there is pretty cool!   We donated a good share of meat to the village in Kotzebue, AK instead of shipping it all back.  Pretty pricey and they really appreciated it.  Win/win.

      I don't bring them back, eat a lot then clean them for the village. Some like them plucked and some like the breasts cut out. It's really remote where I go and the locals live off the land. I know they want me to go get some doves for them too. My buddy is a local so we'll probably go get a deer as well for some venison for some of the elders in the community
