Hunters generally have a number of questions when considering to purchase a GPS for hunting. It is always good to get one that is waterproof and that has sufficient capacity for entering waypoints. However, the 3 most common questions are as follows:

Q: Do I need a hunt/fish calculator on my GPS and Why?

A. When hunting it is helpful to have a hunt/fish calculator in your GPS so you can check to see when the best time to be in the field is for your hunting location. This information is based on the phase of the moon and will give you a general time when the most game activity will be.

Q. What is the benefit of having a GPS with a MicroSd card slot?

A. The biggest benefit for having a MicroSD card slot in your GPS is so you can pre-load different maps for different hunting areas on different memory cards. Then when you hunt a certain area you can simply place that memory card in the card slot of the GPS and have all the information that you need.

Q. Should the GPS have an electronic compass?

A. An electronic compass is especially nice to have on a GPS that will be used for hunting. This will allow the hunter to get an accurate bearing and reading of their position while sitting or standing still. This way the hunter can use their GPS while in a tree stand, ground blind, or in a spot and stalk situation.

These are just a few questions that most hunters have when considering to buy a GPS for hunting.
