Re: OMO Recommend me a handheld GPS
Admittedly yes they do use a lot of battery. An external battery makes it last tho'.

Re: OMO Recommend me a handheld GPS
Well I have been looking at the etrex and the specs seem pretty good. Seems to tick all the boxes and has a compass which the Dakota doesn't.

Re: OMO Recommend me a handheld GPS
compass works too, but its a gps compass so you need to be moving. Good for guiding you to the cache though.

Re: OMO Recommend me a handheld GPS
I have picked up a Dakota 20 from Ebay. Seems a pretty good bit of kit so far. Only played around a little. Compass works without moving which is handy.
