Man I really like this site.I haven't even cosidered or knew about the oregon 450 until it was brought up by the people on this forum.From all the support on the oregon I went to you tube and checked some videos on it. It seems very advanced and should last a while as far as technology  goes. the etrex-30 and the oregon 450 are about the same price and both seem like good units. Thanks to the members on this forum I now have narrowed it down to two choices the etrex-30 and the oregon 450. Looks like I can't go wrong with either unit now its about what I would like best. Thank you all for the great information.

Boyd,
The aeriel view would would be very useful. The woods and swamp lands in Louisiana have very heavy cover and in a lot of time the sky will be obstructed by the trees and brush. I need a unit that will lock on and hold its position in these conditions. With the addition of glonass the etrex may be the best choice. I just don't know. The last gps I had was a magellan tracker. It did not work well in the woods for hunting, but it was good for navigating the waters of the bayous and swamps. I still have it but it is very obsolite, time for an upgrade.

Thanks for all the advice. Its not that I dislike a touch screen I just don't think I need one. I'm still not sure which gps to get. I heard that the vista hcx is also a good unit as well. So many choices, just don't want to get burned. I also heard some good and bad thigs about the DeLorme Pn-60. So at this point I am almost back to square one. Just want a gps that works well with the fewest problems. I guess thats a lot to ask for. Like I said I just hunt anad fish no geo casching for me.

Hello,
I would like a suggestion on which GPS unit would work best for hunting and fishing in the dense woods and swamps of Louisiana? There are so many different makes and models it is totally confusing..LOL. I really don't need a touch screen just something that will hold a position and track well. I'm not into finding toys and plastic animials like in geochaching. I was considering the new e-trex-20 or something like it. Any help on this is appriciated.
