[pct-l] Handheld GPS Recommendations

[Devon Taig]

I don't have much to compare it to, but the Etrex HTX is amazing at
keeping a fix in even the densest forest. Very accurate too. Integrates
well with all the computer software I've seen too.

Greg,
If it's work related I would look at a Garmin GPSMap62s. The smaller
lighter Garmin Dakota 20 or Etrex Vista HCx would be my
recommendations for most hikers. The Garmin Foretrex 401 at 2.3 ounces
(with lithium batteries, but the wrist strap removed) would be a good
choice for ultra lighters who don't mind working with UTM grids on
paper maps.

I'm looking for one that obviously can download maps and aerial photos but also is easy to mark points and put in notes on the fly.  This is work related, but I need to get better educated on these too.  The DeLorme PN40 and PN60 have good reviews and Garmin has several good units out.  Your preferences?
