randyp Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Garmin10-4,,went academy online and perused Garmins. Did like what I did saw. Thank You vewy much. Garmin has yet to market one with bayonet, and caliber not large enough in their chain gun. All that said, yes, like garmins. randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 garmin, got one in 2002 and have used all around the world, and they have free updates and stuff, is accurate to about 5-10 ft depending on satellites have had it dead on to. Used it a lot in Iraq to mark check points and routes and such, also used it in Michigan to tell when the best fishing time was, used it on several diffrent propertys to locate the pins and marked a few honey holes but wife moves around too much Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Nice weaponry though. onliest other thing it needs is a blonde dead armadiller in seat. randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 well, maybe it's not an improved model- the old one ain't bad. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Preference is Garmin. But I tell others...sometimes you have to use the PNS and know where you are going. Otherwise the "bitch in the box" will get you lost. Oh and I hate "recalculating"!
