Best Hunting GPS - The 3 Best Garmin GPS units for hunting: A Holiday Gift Guide Comparison

Do you know which Garmin GPS Units are the best hunting GPS to give as a gift this holiday season? Read on and find out what makes these three GPS units the best for hunting.

If you have a hunter on your gift list this holiday season you may want to consider getting them a GPS unit. But the big question is which one’s are best for hunting and why.

1. Garmin eTrex Vista HCX - The Garmin eTrex Vista HCX is a great GPS for hunting because of its compact size, electronic compass, and MicroSD card slot. It is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and very light weight. The electronic compass allows the hunter to get a bearing while standing still either in a tree stand or ground blind. The MicroSD card slot allows for additional memory and storage of specific hunting areas and waypoints on certain memory cards that can be interchanged when changing hunting areas.

2. Garmin GPSMap 60 CSX - The Garmin GPSmap 60 CSX has been a mainstay for outdoor enthusiasts including hunters. It is not as compact as the Garmin eTrex Vista HCX but it too has an electronic compass and MicroSD card slot for additional memory. Many hunters like that it is easy to use with one hand while hunting and also how quickly it acquires a satellite signal, ready to navigate.

3 . Garmin Rino 530 HCX - The Garmin Rino 530 HCX also has the electronic compass and MicroSD card slot but it is also a FRS/GMRS radio. This radio allows you to communicate with other FRS/GMRS radio users or to use the position reporting feature to let other Rino users in your hunting party know where you are at.

So, as you can see, these three Garmin GPS units are the best hunting GPS’s available. Any hunter would love to receive one of these as a gift this holiday season.
