Anyone have recommendation for a gps to mark trap locations. On large sensitive properties I don't want to flag them and I have seen tech savvy people using gps's on traplines. Thanks for your help.

FIO, the everyday GPS use the same systems for accuracy, the hi end ones just have more gadgets on them and IMO are harder to use. In most cases you will only come with in 5 or 10 feet and that is good enough.
They all have there limits.

I have the Montana 650 and it's a lot more than just a way to mark traps . Check that one out . I got mine at bass pro . It's made for mounting right on a snow machine or ATV so you can see where the trails lead ahead . It shows detailed road maps ect .

Vinke, I think the last five or so that we bought had lifetime maps but I can't tell you how good they are because I haven't died yet.

I like the cheap (about $99) ETrex. Not too many functions and it acquires satelite very fast. It has a terrible, very general map that's about worthless, but I don't really need or use that feature.

Magellan RoadMate 5045-LM 5-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator with Lifetime Maps and Traffic

It's on Amazon for $99.00 (12/6/12). I just bought one for my wife for Christmas. I have a different type of Magellan for our trucks, and personally I like them.

Droid razr maxx with the BackCountry Navigator app. The premium version is (i think) $30.00. There is a free version but, the paid one is well worth the price.

Yeah, I guess you when your first GPS is a Garmin, you probably don't change; which means I have no idea if anything else is better or worse. ( Besides, the name sounds like guys spear fishing out of a boat )

Me and my pirate buddies go Garrrmin' all the time. We have both Alligator Garrrs and Spotted Garrs.

Stick with Garmin. Good, solid GPS with more accuracy than Magellan and other low priced models. Keep in mind that tree cover, ravines, ledges etc., will affect the accuracy in both marking and returning to the waypoint. Mine will get me within 12' of the coordinates in most cases except in wooded areas. I would still think of a way of marking the spot that would only be known to you especially when snow is in the forecast.

I use a garmin rino. Its very accurate and tree cover doesnt seem to affect it. I have software on it that shows all the private,blm,forest land very accurately. Its not cheap but neither is a trespass ticket. It seems to be accurate within 10 feet. I also like it because when I hunt I can locate my buddies with a rino with a touch of a button.


Vote every time or don't complain at all.

Your Friends want you to get the garmin RINO so we "can locate you with a touch of a button." That or a shock collar either one would work.
