Another GPS Question

[MSDawg870]

Looking for a unit with computer software that I can plot points in the field with and then upload onto my PC.

Dick's is advertising the Garmin Venture HC with a TOPO U.S. 2008 disc for $100.

Would that work or am I looking at spending more $$$?

Thanks

The Venture should work for moving saved points to computer mapping software. Might depend on the software. I was able to upload waypoints and tracks from my old Legend as well as my newer Vista HCx. I have found they work with Garmin's software and Delorme. I've also been able to plan routes on my laptop and downlaod them into the GPS.

I don't post much on here, but I do have some input on this subject

I bought the Garmin so I could plot and save tracks and maps, came highly recomended from store clerk

After setting it up and not being able to download maps I had bought online, i started the customer service route

After being told by two different customer service reps that the problem was with the other company software and they could (or would) not help me

I took the d$mn thing back and bought a $150 Bushnell and it works

Always carry a compass just in case
