GPS units

klaski:
Does anybody have any experience with a GPS. I'm thinking of buying one for hiking out of the resort and marking entry points for Ob runs. I suppose they would be handy in an emergency.

Is there any pit falls or models that people have had found to be advantagous.

Snowman:
I borrowed a Magellan unit a couple of years ago when i did a survey of the old ski area at Mt Wills.

Cant remember what model it was but hell it was accurate...

nah, Ive only ever used one while fishing on a mates boat, but I agree, they would be good in an emergency,but I think a beacon would be preferred, as a rescue device. No good knowing exactly where you are if you cant get a signal out to whoever is looking for ya.

klaski:
We are looking at using them more for marking entry points for OB runs. Particulally in areas that we don't know like the back of our hand. Would be handy in poor visability situations as well.
