I have a Garmin for the H3 and have no complaints. Easy to use, appears to be quite accurate; however, when I had a eTrex for hiking, it sucked. Lost signals in the canyons. Switched to Magellan Sportrack TOPO and it was great. However, it literally fell apart when I was switching batteries the other day. When removing the battery pack, the entire bottom half fell out.
So, I'm in the market, and I'm looking at the Lowrance Expedition C Plus. Ratings are fantastic, and a geologist friend who has a company that does a lot of research in the western states swears by Lowrance.
Lowrance is famous for their fishing gear such as Sonar and fish finders. However, they were also the first to introduce the 12-channel GPS, and now they offer a 16-channel GPS/WAAS system.
