Ignorant GPS Question

78Crusher · 11-29-07, 07:47 AM

I would like to purchase a GPS but dont know wich one will suit my needs.
What I want is a GPS that I can plot a trail on then bring it home and download the trail onto a topo map for print-out.
This way when I go to new trails I can map them and keep the topos for later or sharing.

Does this exist?

Thanks

I think many of the handhelds can be uploaded to your computer.

Most of them use the same software. Meaning with in a certain manufacture.

I personally want to buy a Garmin 60csx.
