Cheap Entry Level GPS for state forest

Post by targetshooter900 » 13 May 2020, 2:58 pm

Hi all,
wondering what the best cheap, entry level GPS for NSW state forests are. Something simple, to fulfil the requirement of carrying one when hunting in nsw state forests, it doesnt need to be fancy. Must be able to download and put the required maps on it for each state forest.

Thanks in advance fellas

Just use Avenza on your phone. Simple and better than a GPS

Does this Avenza thing work offline?? Some of them will drive you crazy when signal is poor.

I have Hema which works offline.

Avenza works without mobile reception as long as your phone is a GPS model-i find it excellent, but i do carry a small hand held GArmin in the pack as a backup.
