Absolutely essential

I just got back from a trip down to Neon Canyon in Escalante, UT. We had studied topo maps on the internet and were all set to go. Unfortunately, we didn't save all the information right on the GPS, so the coordinates were lost. But to make a long story short, this unit probably saved our lives. We went about 9 miles out and realized we had taken the wrong canyon. It took a while to find 3 satellites to bounce off of, but that's true with all GPS units. I would highly recommend this over some of the less-expensive models. I just got a different model for my dad for Father’s Day. The color screen is great and it has more battery life. It also seems to be more accurate. I would strongly recommend buying the topo maps to go with it.
