Looking for advice on a portable GPS units for fishing. My goal is to use the GPS unit to return to my fishing spots on a few of my favorite lakes/spots I fish often. I’ve read and heard that some units can automatically download maps of most larger lakes. Does anyone suggest to use this type of unit to find my fishing spots? Ideally, it would be great for if I could also use the GPS for my car or is there a type that could be used for both applications? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
Jeff

Morning Jeff: The best is the light weight easy to use.Garmin 60 csx. It’s not cheap, but is hand held and has removable memory cards….so you could load all of your fishing stuff on one card and have maps for driving directions stored on another card. They are perfect if you hike or walk alot they can keep track of how far you have gone and at what speed…it also keeps a breadcrumb trail of where you have been, so it’s easy to trackback if you get lost.
Good Luck!
The Magellan Explorist (210) is easy to use and light weight. I use it for fishing & Geocaching. It is already preloaded with some of the basic maps for road use. It works fine and affordable and never had a problem with it.
