[pct-l] Handheld GPS Recommendations

[Ken Powers]

I am currently using a Garmin Colorado and really like it. I tried to get a 
GPSMap62s, but they weren't released when I bought. I really wanted to load 
big gpx files my GPSMap60csx couldn't handle.

The real test is that Marcia likes to use the Colorado too.

Greg,
If it's work related I would look at a Garmin GPSMap62s. The smaller
lighter Garmin Dakota 20 or Etrex Vista HCx would be my
recommendations for most hikers. The Garmin Foretrex 401 at 2.3 ounces
(with lithium batteries, but the wrist strap removed) would be a good
choice for ultra lighters who don't mind working with UTM grids on
paper maps.
