what are your thoughts on people using GPS, driving, hiking or anything else,
is there a point where we should give up on people who can’t be saved from themselves and their stupidity?

Looking for a GPS for hiking?

I was looking for a gps that tracks the distance you have traveled and the reason I say gps is because I am looking for the accuracy of a satellite. I didn’t want to blow the bank and get a nice GPS with all the fancy upgrades I didn’t need. Thanks!

Need an Easy to Use Hand Held GPS for Hiking in Hawaii & Ohio?

My fiance and I will be traveling to Oahu for our honeymoon next month and would like to buy an easy to use, not super expensive GPS to take with us to hike in unknown areas. We don’t want anything that has a ton of different menus or options .. just something that has a "base camp" ability and is easy to input and read new waypoints. We will also be using it when we come back to the continental states for hiking in the Appalachian area, or just around our home state of Ohio. We’ve read lots of good reviews about Garmin’s products, but we would like some more input. Thanks!
