After researching online for days, including reading past threads on this forum about GPS units, I was all set to go for a Garmin GPSMap 60CS until I read somewhere else that the Magellan GPS units hold a better lock under thick canopy than the Garmins do, according to a couple of users. However, I also did read someone else's opinion where he believed that Magellan, although it might hold a lock better in the woods, doesn't necessarily mean that the readings it's giving you at that time are accurate. So....does anyone have any actual experience in the field where a Magellan outperformed a Garmin under thick cover...or vice versa?
Also, I was wondering if anyone has any experience comparing a Garmin 60CS to a Garmin Vista C. Both are pretty much in the same price range. Quite often I use topo maps bushwhack to remote beaver ponds or stream tributaries in the pursuit of trout, so the canopy thing is of interest to me. Thanks for any feedback.
