GPS System

GPS is really a handy creation which have brought convenience to many people.

Garmin GPS is a great improvement over previous models. Being able to download & display topo maps is key. The controls, although not completely intuitive, are easy enough to learn to make this an extremely useful device. It is indispensible for getting to trailess peaks (in the Adirondack mountains in my case). The display screen could use more contrast for the topographic features. Maybe next time I'll spring for the color display unit. Navigation is generally accurate to 40 feet, which is fine. Great unit.

Anyone who is really poor in directions, on the road will find this system to be really helpful.
