Q. Which Garmin GPS Units Are The Best For Hunting?

A. The Garmin eTrex Vista HCX, the Garmin GPSMap 60CSX, and the Garmin Rino 530 HCX are the best GPS units for hunting.

* Garmin eTrex Vista HCX - This unit is great for hunting because it has a MicroSD card slot so you can put different maps of hunting areas on varies memory cards. It also features an electronic compass to take a bearing while you are sitting or standing still like in a tree stand or ground blind. The Garmin eTrex Vista HCX is also very compact and lightweight.

* Garmin GPSMap 60CSX - This Garmin unit also has a MicroSD card slot and electronic compass. Most hunters like that it is easy to use with one hand. It is also popular for it’s ability to pick up a satellite signal quickly. This has been a very popular model for outdoor enthusiasts for years.

* Garmin Rino 530 HCX - This unit is not as compact as the eTrex Vista HCX but it also has a MicroSD card slot and electronic compass. It’s main feature is that it is also a FRS/GMRS radio. So you can communicate with others who have a radio. The Garmin Rino 530 HCX is most popular for it’s ability to use it’s position reporting feature and share your location with other Rino users in your hunting group.

I would recommend just about any Garmin model for hunting but these three are the best hunting GPS units because of their electronic compass and built in MicroSD memory card slot.
