GPS ?

Im looking into getting a gps to use while out on my kayak/ hiking. I do not have a gps with my fishfinder and im looking to spend no more than 200 bucks. Does anyone have any sugestions or experience using a handheld gps from the yak?

I bought the navionics app for the iPhone, it was 10 bucks. Works great! Just don't lose your phone.

I wish that would work but im looking gfor something dual purpose for hiking as well I centire out pretty far in to the mountains and deserts and cell phone reception out there is usually vet little to none.

Since you're military, register for Promotive.com

Looks like the eXplorist 510 Marine Edition might work well for you. It's a little out of your price range, but for what you're getting it's a good deal... and you're getting almost $200 off MSRP for serving your country

Pretty good amazon reviews too

I think you'll like it because it serves just as good as a marine unit and a hiking unit.
