The GPS III plus allows for integration with DeLorme = Mapping, and Maptech Mapping software. You can preplan on a 3D topo of = the area using the mapping software, then upload your waypoints from the = pre-plan into the unit. Once in the field you can follow the pre-loaded = waypoints, use them as a guide in case you wander while hunting, ADD = waypoints of things you may want to return to later, and any waypoints = of Meteorites you find.=20 Then you can take that unit, and sync up your map with the waypoints = from in the field, VERY helpful for knowing where you have searched for = pre-planning your next adventure.=20 Any of the Garmin series are a good choice. Mine needed a new lifetime = memory battery after the first year, they had it back and updated in 10 = days, no charge. There are way too many peripheral goodies for the Garmins, and some = really awesome mapping software, find the companies above just add a dot = com to their first names. Maptech.com allows you to print free maps, I = have a cable modem so I can not tell you about bandwidth, my maps print = in under a minute. They sell some awesome mapping software that works = well with my Garmin.
