The best way to pick a GPS is to list features YOU want. I prefer Garmin but
anyone will tell you, besides Happykraut, Magellan and Delorme make a pretty
good unit too. Some like a rugged handheld while others like more of a
smart-phone look and feel. Maps are important. Do you want paperless, cache
pages loaded on the GPS? Electronic compass, Barometer, Camera,
Auto-Routing, etc.
Field, Car, Fitness, All Three?
Just make a list of what sounds good as you research the GPS units and then
see what fits.
Thanks!

Subject: [GeoStL] GPS units
I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly, but here goes. I'm starting to
research GPS units in preparation for attending MOGA. I don't know where to
start. There are lots of units and vendors out there and I don't know what
to look for. Currently, my GPS is the Geocaching app on my iPhone 4, which
has a lousy battery life. Suggestions on what features I should look for in
a unit would be appreciated. Thanks!
