Which Garmin

[swampokie]

Im getting a new gps unit next week and ive narrowed it down to the etrex 30x and the Oregon 600. I know a lot of you guys have the 600 but im not sure I want the touchscreen. Do any of you have the new upgraded etrex 30x? Just looking for some advice from anyone with experience with the 2 units. Thanks

Had the Oregon for 3 years and use the heck out of it in all kinds of weather. I'd buy it again tomorrow!

I have an Oregon 600 with chips for Colorado & Wyoming. Have had it for 4 years, not sorry at all. I load the data into my home computer and can look at everything on bigscreen It is really great!

Oregon 600, and then buy what ever state you'll be hunting hunt on x chip.

I use the 64s and really like it. with that being said, if I was to do it over again I would get the Oregon 600. My buddy has it and its more user friendly than the 64s

I've had the Montana 650t for the past 2 years and like it a lot. I like the larger screen and the touch screen is very user friendly. Just like everyone else has recommended, get the onXhunt mapping chip / software and you will be good to go.

Thank you all for the input. The Oregon is some kinda popular for a reason I guess!

I use the etrex 30 with NM hunting chip. It's a fine GPS. It just doesn't have the touch screen. Battery life is good. It doesn't have the camera function that some units have which I think is not necessary. It is also reasonable in price.

I have the 600 as well. The only "bad" that I don't like about it, is that regular batteries don't work too long in it. Maybe I should try lithiums.
