I haven't used a GPS since the 90's and when I looked at them the other day I couldn't believe the price jump and how far the tech has come, which leaves me lost in a techno jungle, ugh!! I will be using it for back country (map and compass is also used) hiking and hunting.
I don't know anything about these new features and want to hear about first hand experiences, both good and bad. What features are a waste and which have you found to be worth every penny?
The emergency locator and ability to communicate via text or even talking seems like a good thing to have but do they really work when out in the middle of nowhere? I'm guessing they all have topo maps and tracking but do they have a feature where family or friends can track you while you're in the field?
Thanks for your help
