[pct-l] GPSs & compasses

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

If you buy a GPS  as like Garmin eTrex Vista HCx with an electronic
map as one package. It is very easy to use. It works as an electronic
map. You can see where you are. I recommend this type of GPS, since it
is easy to use.

But, if you buy a GPS as like Garmin Foretrex 401, you must learn more
about GPS as Steel-Eye indicated, because this type of GPS cannot
indicate maps. So, you need to know what the waypoint etc is. and how
to cooperate with personal computer and how to use with the printed
maps.
