GPS

What GPS handheld would be best for a beginner?

I was thinking the garmin 60, explorist 250or300.

1. That really depends on your needs. I have a Garmin etrex that costs around $100. It's rather basic as it will get you in and out of the woods without getting you lost and is rather simple to use. More expensive models can do a lot more and you might want to consider, but this particular model suits my current needs. It will mark your tracks and show you the route to a previously "marked" location. Maybe somebody else can offer some insight to the models you mentioned as I'm not familiar with them. Good luck.
2. Magellan Gold
3. the inexpensive garmin etrex is fantastic for begginers and more experienced. also look on ebay you can get some fantastic deals on used gps. I just bought a nice used garmin for 25.00 for my nephew.
4. Simply said it would be Garmin 60cx...worth the money
5. I have the explorist 500 and I really love it. Pretty simple to use. I bought mine right after the 600 came out so there was a 150 dollar rebate on their website. Sweet deal.
6. I have a Magellan Meridian Colour. Use it for hunting, boating and hiking. You can load maps into it by an SD Card. I love it.
