garmin gpsI've been hunting for a full featured Garmin GPS unit for my family for Christmas and finally found one that we can take with us no matter what we're doing or going. This unit is priced affordably and it will save us so much time planning where we are going. We are big hikers and bike riders so now we won't have to worry nearly as much about plotting our routes. And we won't have to bring along a topo map, either. This Garmin GPS gives elevation, so we'll know exactly why we're panting up a mountainside. We are so lucky to live close to many beautiful places to hike. The kids are old enough to go out on their own, and my concerns about having them on the trail by themselves will be greatly eased when I know that the Garmin GPS keeps them from getting lost. Cell phones don't always work in the mountains, so this Garmin GPS puts me in a comfort zone that I wouldn't have without sending them out the door with this unit. It only weighs 5.5 ounces, including batteries, so there's no reason in the world not to bring it along wherever we go, on foot or on wheels.
