>>>When you are looking you need to think about how you want to carry the thing too, the etreks, Magellins, and the Lowrances use a patch antenna. This reguires you to hold them as if they were lying on a table top, they HAVE to be flat to get a good signal. <<<
very interesting, thanks for that info!! that will help me sometimes.
as far as hte trees- yeah, it can be a pain, but it still works well enough you wont get lost.
>>>Oh, that's the other thing, the government CANNOT track you by your gps RECIEVER, it is, afterall, only a reciever, it NEVER transmits anything<<<<
i repeat that because it is something many people don't seem to realize.
you cna be tracked with gps no more than you can with an fm radio, it's recieve only, unleess specially outfitted like with onstar or something in cars
