I have a Rhino, it's useful to be able to send waypoints to others. I then found another Rhino, above treeline that had been out at least one winter and it still worked. After placing an add for the owner and getting no calls, I gave it to a friend for hunting season and he lost it on the first day.

I noticed what I think is a super neat facet of the GPS at a recent Sport's Show.
A company will sell you a micro SD card(only used on mid/higher end GPS units) that contains all the land status info for one or more states. I think they were offering WA, ID and MT for $129. Simply insert the micro SD into your GPS and you know EXACTLY who/what land you are on.
No more getting run-off "private land" or getting bluffed by landowners. Tell me more, please...

Cabela's also has the HC package w/map DVD for $129. I think I'm going to snag that one since I have some Cabela's points!

I pulled the trigger on the Vista HCx yesterday, although I have to say I was sorely tempted by the Foretrex 401 smokepole suggested. Gotta love its diminutive size and simplicity. Who knows, I may get one yet.
That DVD package at Cabelas looks like a good deal. I really wanted to get one with great battery life though and the Venture HC shows only 14 hours of life vs the 25 hours for the Vista HCx or a Legend HCx. That's almost a 2:1 rate of battery usage.

No more getting run-off "private land" or getting bluffed by landowners. I'm looking at getting a Garmin 400 or 450 for that very purpose.
